We spent last week in Wisconsin Dells at the
Wilderness Resort. Grandma Pam joined us for the week. We also met two other families there and had an absolute blast! Here are a few photos of our week.

This was our third visit to the Wilderness Resort and we're already looking forward to our vacation next winter. Because everything is attached through indoor walkways, it doesn't matter how cold it is outside which makes it a perfect January vacation destination. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and departed on Friday morning and avoided any major crowds. The downside of off-season vacationing, however, is that the resort is not running at 100% capacity. Our favorite water park was closed all week, but there was still plenty to keep us occupied.
Today we hit the books and tried to get back into our routine. It's always hard to come back to reality, but we had a decent day and got most of our work completed.
Do you have any winter get-aways planned? I'd love to hear about them!
God Bless!
Heather :-)
Sounds like a great place!! (especially the part of not having to go outside in the cold!! My inlaws brought the kids and Tom (I stayed home with the at the time, 2 year old) a few years ago, in November, (to WI Dells) and they had a really good time!
ReplyDeleteWhile I do enjoy our family vacation, time at home with just one child sounds nice too! You should go sometime - it's a blast!
DeleteThis was the only time I'd ever opted to not go anywhere...so I stayed home and I also had never been alone with just one like that, since well, I'd had only one! I have to say, it was one of the best weekends I've ever had!! To have that time with her, it was just so fun. I also got used to the quiet and well, it was just nice. Of course I missed everyone.
DeleteI told my husband about this place and we bookmarked it, looks like a great place!
Uh, OK, after reading your comment on my blog, I had to come back and sure enough in the 4th picture is people I KNOW!!!! Wow, what a small world! Maybe that betters our chances of meeting someday? :) (they are a wonderful family!) Lisa brought me like 10 meals all at once last spring, even gluten free stuff (I was gluten free for Simeon for about 4-5 mos)She's amazing!
Agreed - Lisa is amazing! They are a super family and we feel blessed to call them friends. Perhaps our paths will cross someday!
DeleteLooks like a wonderful time, Heather. Glad you all had fun! Have a wonderful day! : )
ReplyDeleteWe did have a great time. Thanks!
DeleteOh how wonderful! I'm so glad that you all had this opportunity. And it sounds so much fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was great. And having grandma come along makes it that much better!
