Looking for something other than the normal beach trip to take the wife and 3 kids on.

Has to be fairly inexpensive and no more than a 10-12 hour drive from Hammond.

Whatcha got?

North Georgia (or Alabama) or southern Tennessee area, rent a cabin...Get a guided flyfishing trip for the family, hike, go to the base of area rock climbing spots and check out the cliffs, play games, cook...

Not much.

Arkansas mountains or Texas, that's about it.

San Antone, Austin, TX Hill Country. See the Alamo, go to Schliterbein, Get your picture taken at the SRV statue.

Or you can expand your range another half day and go to Taos. That's what I would do.
