When it comes to vacations and family fun, what is your preference? Do you like to be spontaneous and simply drive around until you see something that strikes your interest; or, are you more like “Clark Griswold” from Nation Lampoon’s Vacation? My wife is the former and I am the latter because I prefer to “have a plan” when it comes to taking a vacation. Mr. Griswold was also insistent on having, and sticking to, a specific itinerary on their vacations which (of course) drove the rest of the family crazy. In my case, the same is true, therefore your guide to La Crosse Family Fun is within this article.
