If you get some time off of work, but don't have the ability and/or the desire to travel a long distance, it's good to know that one of the best 'staycations' in America is right here in our part of Iowa.
If you enjoy camping, there's an option you should put on your list for a potential weekend thing to do in Iowa. It's a state park that has yurt cabins and you really can stay in them overnight and wake up to a dreamy Iowa lake in the morning.
