We took the kids for an overnight at Great Wolf Lodge. I thought spring break started this Friday...but I was mistaken. So we sent the kids to school Friday with a note saying we were picking them up early for an appointment. Technically not a lie because we had an appointment for fun! Though we did lead the kids to believe we were going for checkups. So they were pretty surprised!
Anyway, this ties into our Universal trip in two ways. 1. My suitcase is well past it’s useful life and it needs replacing. 2. I swear I’m gonna pack for our trip over like the span of 3 months. Packing for a family of five takes forever. It took me an hour to pack for 1 night. I’m going to make a master list and pack all our toiletries and things well in advance and the night before make sure to add the clothes for everyone.
Our family likes Great Wolf. The water park is clean as are the rooms. They have nicely themed rooms. We stay in one that has a little cabin built into it that sleeps 3 kids. Perfect for my family. When we checked in we were informed that we were picked as a Very Important Family. That was a nice surprise. You get complimentary late checkout, a free game of bowling for everyone in the room, and snazzy gold wristbands. Plus once we went to our room there was also a special package with drinks and snacks.
The slides aren’t super thrilling but they are perfect for us. And then for the evening they have the MagiQuest game that my boys love to run around the hotel playing. Em and I were content to stay in the room and play UNO by the fireplace.
