Where's a good, cheap, all inclusive, US Based, Family vacation?

My kids will be 3 and 6. The wife an I are looking for a family getaway. We've done a Time-share right off the beach at St. Augustine (nice) and before kids Eureka Springs and Omaha, and are looking for something similarly low-key and "simple".

We're not ready for Disney yet, and Dollywood was overwhelming. And, we don't mind something landlocked near natural or archaeological sites. (South Dakota? Oregon?)

A "nearly" all inclusive motel with a waterpark might be good for us too. (Are the Schlitterbahn's any good?) I heard there's something similar near Lake of the Ozarks?

Here is a list of waterparks in the US

How about the Family Aquatic Center at Chandler Park in Detroit Michigan?

Thank you all for answering! But, it was that about.com link that got me into a section that had all sorts of links to family vacation ideas.

Well, we've got an aquatic center like that next door to our house, LOL. What we're hoping is that it's within walking distance of our motel room. I checked that link though, and hit "resorts" and found this place...

How about Holiday World and Splashin Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana? We took our boys (5 and 2 at the time) there last summer. We actually stayed in Louisville and then drove roughly 40 minutes to the park. It is pretty cheap and one of the best water parks I have been too. Check out the link below to see all of the different attractions. I hope this helps.
