Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I have a divorce decree involving a child that states during the summer one parent takes the child for one week at a time, then the other parent takes him the next week. It's like that the whole summer. My question is, being the non-custodial parent, am I allowed to take my child on vacation out of state for 2 weeks instead of only 1 week? I don't want to get arrested for taking my son on vacation with me.
