School was out last Friday for a teacher inservice day and so we made way for Grand Mound, WA to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. I have to say the resort is really well planned and lots of FUN! The water park is actually inside the hotel. I'm a big fan of a STAYcation (staying in your own state for vacation). Short trips cost less and deliver just as much anticipation and excitement as the big long trips :).
Tips for a fabulous stay at Great Wolf Lodge:
1. Be prepared to get WET and enjoy 84 degrees in the middle of the winter!
2. Let yourself hang loose and kick back for a fantastic mini vacation.
3. Bring lots of CA$H or else plan ahead; you can really burn through the dollars fast at this place if you aren't prepared. We brought lots of snacks and some easy meals; every room has a microwave and mini fridge.
4. Bring friends. We brought along the Anderson clan so every kid had a buddy!
5. Book a reservation on a week night, it's cheaper. The only drawback is that everything closes by 10:00 p.m. which is early when you're in vacation mode. No worries though, we invented our own fun!
6. Plan on reaching complete exhaustion by the end of the day. Climbing up mammoth water slide stairs all day=very tired children and parents. Oh, and the Howling Tornado (pictured above) is by far the coolest slide.

ReplyDeleteHow fun! We wanted to go there when we were in Washington but our girls are still a little too young to enjoy it.
