Kids don't need the attractions. They just want some freedom and something
to do. Find a warm water lake, a home/cabin for 10, a ski/wakeboard boat,
and a barbecue. If you do it right, the kids will remember the week at the
lake forever! The adults need a break from the routine and some breaks from
the kids. They will also enjoy the lake activities: fishing, skiing,
tubing, swimming, sunbathing, drinking, .... Remember, though, if the
adults don't get a break from the kids, it will be just another week of
chores.
