Great Wolf Lodge- 2009

         GWL- Entrance 

In 2009, my family and I decided to go to the Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, Virginia. GWL is a resort containing an indoor water park as well as an outdoor park with many hotels around. Great Wolf Lodge is known as America’s largest Family of Indoor water Park Resort. I would love to go back to the GWL, however, in my opinion is it a more valuable location for younger more active, agitated children. This resort does not only have a water park, but it also includes ride, the tornado and alberta falls.

One of my favorite aspects about going on this trip was the ride there. I really love travelling and this gave me and family to opportunity to go on a road trip. This is one of my passions for learning about new things and the roads and stopping by various sites before our arrival.  But when we arrived, my learning experiences did not end there. GWL also provides a lot of knowledge on the environment and the history of the building. Many times their are story-times on the history and the place. It was very interesting to learn about the creation and people of GWL. 

Our stay at GWL was exceptional, I wanted to stay longer than we were suppose too. It was fun spending quality time with my brother, sister and father. My mother on the other hand was pregnant with my other brother, so she did not have as much fun as we did.

Every morning we would wake up and go to the indoor pools, my favorite part was the bucket. It was a large wooden bucket that was about 15 feet from the ground. the machine would fill it up with water and once it’s full, the container would tilt over and all the cold water the pour on the person right under them. My too siblings were obsessed with the Tornado, to sum up, this ride consist of four people going on a raft and swiftly twisting and turning through the tornado tunnel with water splashing from every side. I of course was a “scared-y- cat” back then so I never tried the ride, I just stay under the water bucket XD but my brother and sister told me that it was the best water ride ever. Looking back I really wished that I went on the ride. Moreover the afternoons were quite simple, we just relaxed in the hotel rooms and occasionally went to the spa. But the hotel did offer a lot of activities. But the night was the most eventful. The kids would dress up in there PJs and f go to the main wall for stories or other planned activities to helps the kids bound.

All the all, The Great Wolf Lodge was an amazing stay. And even after 7 years, I still remember every memory for vididly. I hope to go back in the near future so my (now born) brother can experience what we did. (And so I can go again) 🙂
