Last week we were able to take a vacation to the Wisconsin Dells. That area is named the waterpark capital of the world. We had originally hoped to visit a beach, but then when I realized that the beach during college spring break probably wouldn't be the best fit for us. Instead, we opted for Wisconsin.
We had a wonderful time. We stayed at Glacier Canyon Lodge and there are 3 indoor and 3 outdoor water parks there (outdoor ones not open this time of year obviously). They also had an arts & crafts room, a couple arcades, etc. - plenty to keep us busy and having fun! The rooms were nice and the kids had a great time!
We also had a great trip in the car. It was about 8 1/2 hours from home and we didn't even turn on a single DVD during the whole round trip! It was great! We listened to music, stories on CD, and just talked. It was actually my own first time in Iowa. The kids also enjoyed talking about what states we were in.
It was a nice relaxing time for all of us. As we were swimming most of the time, we saw plenty of people also swimming. Nathaniel told us on the way home, in his most serious and matter-of-fact voice, "Mom, I'm pretty sure everyone in Wisconsin has a tattoo." Hee hee. We did notice how common they sure are.
The kids really loved the art/craft room. The favorite water park may have been the wave pool one, followed closely behind it by the wild west one with plenty of water slides. Leah was even a hoot - she went down slides more than anyone - 3 story + high. She'd get carried to the top, slide down, and then say, "Again."
I'm sure I'll have more little tid bits to add about the trip, but we really did have a nice time away together.
