I went downstairs Sunday morning only to find Mimi and Eloisa huddled together watching "Scooby-Doo". After breakfast we headed back to Burger King for some more playtime. The weather up here in the northwest has been kind of crappy lately. All day Saturday and Sunday it rainned and rainned. By 5:00 it was time to head home since it is a 170 mile drive for us. I did however learn one thing on this trip. In Oregon and New Jersey, you are not allowed to pump your own gas. It is required that an attendent does it for you or you will be fined $500.00. I almost made that mistake when I pulled into the Chevron gas station and thought that I had pulled up to the wrong pump.Right off the 5 interstate is the Great Wolf Lodge (indoor water park). I thought that it would be a great idea if we stopped by to check it out. When I found out that it costs $350.00 for one weekend night, that's where they lost me, but then this morning I found out from another mom that during the week her family paid $199.00 and you could bring your own food and you could use the water park before you check in and after you check out. It might be something to think about for this summer although we are taking Mimi on the same camping trip as we went to last year. I am most definitely sure that Mimi will not let me forget about the Great Wolf Lodge either. She absolutely loved our visit there. It is I must say a very family oriented place.
great wolf lodge is a chain and there's one about 1.5 hours from you.
ReplyDeleteoops, i guess that's the one you were talking about. i originally thought you saw one in portland but i see it is half-way in between.
ReplyDeleteThe place kind of reminds me of a version of Disneyland. It is very nice and there are a lot of things for kids to do besides swimming although the swimming park is HUGE! Lots and lots of kids there too running all around the place. The one we went too is located just before you enter Chahalis. "D"
