During the past long weekend, we headed up to Traverse City for a mini-getaway at the Great Wolf Lodge. I would love to visit Traverse City during the Summer. It's beautiful!
After a four-hour or so drive, we just wanted to chill in the room. =) As you can tell Lil' Allen was checking out the whirlpool... he was itching to get it going. lol. But we wanted to check out the Lodge first.
Lil' Allen's favorite spots were the Arcade room and the ice cream shop! lol. He got his ice cream... but what he really wanted to do was get in the whirlpool! lol. So we headed back to our room just to chill. It was a nice evening of just relaxing in the whirlpool while watching a movie and playing a game.
The next day though, we hit the water park and had loads of fun. =) Lil' Allen posing in front of Fort McKenzie. This water blast/gun thing and Fort McKenzie were among his favorites.
His dad and him enjoyed this a lot. =) I enjoyed watching them (and so did others!). You can't see lil' Allen and I but we are somewhere in the Fort. We got our bucket filled with water and waiting for someone to walk underneath so we can dump it on them! lol. We were hoping Dad would come by. =D
Lil' Allen and Dad. =) At the top of Fort McKenzie is a large bucket that would fill up with water and top over. The kids of course LOVED this! lol. It's fun watching them!
The Lodge had this cool story time place in the lobby. It's really neat... they really made it look magical. They had this whole Magic Quest game on the 2nd floor which lil' Allen wasn't interested in participating but I WAS!!! lol. But I guess it would look weird if an adult was playing the game without any kids around to at least make it look like she was helping them. LOL.
Traverse City! What a beautiful place. =)
It was a short trip but we had a good time. It was nice getting away from the stresses of school and just chill together. With my hubby finishing up his Masters soon, I'm guessing we won't have much chill time with him when he's done. But we'll definitely plan our "family time" more deliberately from now on (getting into the habit and all). =P
Looking forward to visiting Traverse City again!
