Since the children were off a few days of school, we decided to pack it up and head 15 minutes away from home to a hotel for some indoor swimming enjoyment. I just love hotels. Something about not having to pick up after yourself, having coffee and breakfast foods ready and waiting for you is just pure luxury. Sleeping in a room with your family of 5 and not in the same bed as your husband--not as luxurious, but still pretty darn fun.
A nearby hotel boasts of a water slide and a kiddie play pool, deluxe breakfast and in room DVD player---let me tell you--it did not disappoint! What did disappoint was the fact that the water slide was only open on weekends--oops. I guess I didn't read the fine print that stated this small fact. The kids didn't care though. As the photos will show, playing in water 8 inches deep beats sitting in school any day. As Dewey so accurately stated: "Mom, this place is much funner than our home!"

Let me be the 1st to comment. Sorry Braaaad, et. al. :)
My sister went to that same hotel/waterpark and remarked how lame the hours of operation were too.
Looks like you still had fun however.
How fun! We've been here too during spring break...I don't remember the slide ever being shut down...But I do remember it being very cold! and they use a ton of chlorine...All my kids had red rashy skin at the end of the 3 day stay.
It is a really nice hotel, though.
High chlorination for the mass amount of kids in the water. Need I say more?
It looks like Great Wolf Lodge
Your boys look like twins in the side by side on the slide!
So glad the kids had a good time.We did too! Short but sweet. Too bad they had to shut down the pool area Thurs nite due to the tornado watch. Noth'in like adding insult to injury. Anyway, it was fun and you made a great memory for your kids.
