Water Park
If you're going to go to a water park (and lets face it, in sticky summer heat, there is no place else to go), you might as well go to the biggest water park around, aka the Wisconsin Dells. A quick drive up North will find you face-to-face with water slides and wave pools as far as the eye can see. Before you dive in head first, make sure you're prepped and cute for the most fun you'll have all summer.
