Weekend Getaway




This past weekend we headed down to Williamsburg, VA to stay at Great Wolf Lodge. We booked the trip a while ago once we knew I would be here for this school because we knew we would need a little break from this small town. Auntie Tosha met us there and we had so much fun. Technology is great because now they have wristbands that also work as your room key, which is a great thing because you don't have to worry about holding on to your key while you are there. It is pretty cold out now so it was great to get to walk around in our swimsuits and flip-flops. It was also the first weekend that they were celebrating "Snowland" where Santa and Rudolph made an appearance. Abby couldn't wait to tell Santa what she wants for Christmas, but Adrianna didn't want to get too close, so I had to sit with her. They also have bedtime stories by the fireplace- that is why the girls were in their pajamas. Abigail got a wand the last time we were there and we were surprised it still worked. This time we added a game to it, so she was able to run all around the lodge finding special clues. The wand allows the kids to interact with things like paintings, treasure chests, lanterns, and even bear-skins hanging on the walls and when they point their wands at them they light up and talk adding clues to help them on their adventure. Abby had a great time with that!

We had our gorilla tripod and remote for our camera so we were able to take a lot of family pictures. The picture of Abby in the large wooden bear chair makes us feel old because she looks like such a big kid! The weekend went by so fast and it is back to small town life for us- at least only for the rest of the week.
