We took a quick trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Massachusetts. Our friends, the Catalanos, met up with us there.
We left right after church Sunday, stopping at Nardelli's in Waterbury for lunch, a favorite back when we lived there.
We arrived at Great Wolf in time to check in, get in our room, and meet up with the Catalanos to ride waterslides for an hour and a half before having joint dinner then going together to the ropes course, arcade, etc.
I love the ropes course at the Fitzburg, Mass. location. I remembered it from years ago when we went. And this time, it was even better since they added a zip line that takes you back to the start of the course, so you can begin again from the start.
We met up at the waterpark this morning, and we all played/ visited until early afternoon when our family left to head home. I wanted to get home for my graduate school class online. Dwayne needed to get back to work Tuesday, etc. The Catalanos stayed on for another night/ day.
But before we left Great Wolf, we spent the rest of our credits in the arcade, quickly accumulating enough tickets to get to the girls some stuffed animals. Dwayne and I agreed we'd like a ski ball machine in the basement. I could play ski ball for hours.
We enjoyed Chickfila on the way home, indulging in limited-time pretzel breaded sandwiches and milk shakes or frosted coffees. Then we stopped again at Chesire Coffee and indulged again. The girls had delicious boba teas. Dwayne had a perfect capacchino. I had a maple salted latte with oat milk, which was divine, but it may also be why I am still wide awake this late...
So it was the quickest of getaways- just enough time to make some great memories with friends!
