I've never taken a vacation, and I'm determined to take on this year in Spring. I'm in Pittsburgh area and would like to bring my dog along (he is too anxious for boarding or a dog sitter), and don't want to put him on an airplane. Any ideas?

The best I've been able to come up with is renting a small island with a cottage on the Great Lakes. My pup could run totally free on the island for a week and live his best life chasing squirrels and swimming. I'm not much of a nature fan, though, so it might be a bit boring.

Go to a public cave, spend the weekend in a small town.

Luray Caverns in Virginia is where my family went, but there are others that may be closer to you. https://luraycaverns.com/

Try something different for a change.

We're thinking about going to Michigan and seeing the dunes this summer.

What is interesting about the dunes? Is there more to do than just walking around and saying "yep, that's sand"?

Nope, that's about it. Ha. I took my oldest son up there when he was 2, and he loved it. We're just thinking about going back to relive that experience. We've been trying to think of other options, too. My wife suggested we go to Chicago and go to some places there with the kids.
