weekend getaway ideas

I'd like to go away for the weekend with DH and Oliver & Chloe (our dog).  What are some ideas that are within a few hours from DSM?!  Considering the heat we've had tent camping is out of the question.  I'm open to just about anything...

  • Rent a cabin in Northeastern Iowa! You know it's my favorite area of Iowa! Call me later and I'll give you details. :-)

    Considering the heat, I'd go north to Minneapolis. I've always had good luck getting cheap hotels in Bloomington through priceline. If you're more of a hotwire fan, it'd probably do just as well for you. There are two zoos (Como Park is free), a children's museum and science museum that, if I recall correctly, has a lot more for little ones than ours here. And of course, the Mall of America, which although it no longer holds that much allure for me, I like to hit up every few years.
