July is Adventures and Outings month on Ohdeedoh where we'll be featuring tips, ideas and products to make traveling with young ones more fun and less challenging. But even if a vacation isn't in the cards right now, you can still plan an "escape" while staying at home.

This inspiring photo we found over at Design Is Mine really reminds us of the joys of summer. A simple thing like pitching a tent in the living room or letting siblings share a room for the night can be as fun as any mini-vacation. Once you've got the tent set up, let your kids bring in their favorite toys and books and push bedtime back. Make this a routine treat in your house for the rest of summer.
