Our Anniversary Trip

On November 20, we celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. We took a family trip to Williamsburg to the Great Wolf Lodge there. It is hotel with an indoor waterpark that we've visited a few times now (and actually have spent 3 anniversaries there!). I think Benjamin enjoyed the fact that he got to sleep in bunk beds there almost as much as he enjoyed the water slides! And Samuel had his first experience sleeping in a big bed and did great.

Our trip was off to a bit of a rough start when Benjamin got sick in the car en route to Williamsburg then he cracked his lip open on the bunk bed later five minutes after we checked in. We weren't sure what would come our way next but the trip continued without any further hiccups and we all had a fabulous time.

Samuel even went solo down some of the larger water slides.

In addition to the water park feature of the hotel, it has so many great family friendly activities. They have a story time every night where guests can come together in their pajamas and enjoy an interactive show with characters in their lobby, then a hotel employee reads a couple of books. One night during our stay they also had a magician and the boys enjoyed that as well. They also have an arcade that compares to Chucky Cheese (minus the pizza) which we all had fun in.

Benjamin also enjoyed walking throughout the hotel and activating things with a magic wand... it is called "Magic Quest" and kids are all over the hotel making things light up, talk, etc. This was something new to him and he and Daddy really enjoyed it. A great activity for them to do while Mommy and Samuel enjoyed naptime!

Overall, we all had a great time and Benjamin actually began to cry a bit on the way home saying he didn't want to leave Great Wolf Lodge.
