In need of U.S. vacation ideas?

Question

Can you name a few great vacation spots for a couple.

I live in MN but it doesn't have to be close, just in the US. (we are planning on driving).

possibly low cost

We like to hike and be outside but I would like to have lodging near by for the nights.

Don't really want to go somewhere real tropical though (not Florida, Hawaii or islands)

Thanks a ton.

Answer 1

You could go to someplace like Yellowstone or another national park if you like to be outside. Or a cheap idea is just going to an art/science museum for one day, sleeping over at a hotel, then just going to a local place recommender by the locals the next. Hope I helped! :)

Answer 2

Try http://www.cheap-fun-family-travel.com lots of destinations that involve the outdoors on a budget.

Try staying in the KOA camping cabins. They are located near just about all the big cities , parks and amusements. Just  bring a little camping stove and griddle to make breakfast and some dinners.
