So this weekend Jim and I went to Great Wolf Lodge. We struggled for a couple weeks to find any place (spa or other) that had reservations available. This was the only place that was open. It actually only had two rooms left which I found funny.
We dropped Reagan off with my parents on Saturday afternoon and came home to pack and drive to Mason. Mason... lame. But guess what - it was awesome. I loved it. There were kids running around (they weren't mine). There were babies crying (they weren't mine). There was a water park with lots for us to do (huge plus).
We got there and immediately went to the water park. It was wonderful. It had a lazy river, hot tubs, water coasters, obstacle course, kid areas, wave pool and just tons of fun for all. We stayed at the water park until we played enough and then got ready to have a "date". Yes a date.
We went to Outback and saw "The Karate Kid" (a total waste for me and Jim, but a date none-the-less). We had a nice time. We came back and crawled into bed and just relaxed. How nice.
We slept in Sunday til 9am. Holy Cow - that just never happens. :) We got up, ate, and swam. I got my toes done (me time) and Jim took a nap. Again, stuff we can never do. We ate a late lunch and then went right back to the pool. Again, lots of fun.
Jim rode the water coasters several times and loved them. We played until late and ran up to the restaurant about 830pm to eat dinner. After that, we watched "Date Night" and relaxed again.
Of course we slept in again on Monday, got up and ate about 10am. Wow. The cool thing about that place was that we could play until the park closed at 10pm on our check out day. Perfect. We ran down to grab Reagan and brought her back up to play all evening. We didn't get home until almost 930 pm on Monday. We were all tired and done for the night. Whew!
I am so happy we took the chance to go. It was a better get away than I expected. I had fun with Jim, relaxed and missed my girl. :)
