Last week was our Spring Break and Wyatt had been begging to have his birthday at The Great Wolf Lodge. Since his birthday is at the end of April I thought we could celebrate it early with a trip to the GWL for our vacation. Plus, I have been dying to get the boys up to Colonial Williamsburg, VA for ages. So we combined both, since there is a GWL there.
Thanks to Nana and Granddad for sharing their timeshare points to get us rooms. The boys LOVED this room with bunkbeds, separated from the rest of the room.
Jack and Wyatt switched off sleeping in the top bunk.
And Ethan enjoyed the bed right next to them.
Since Jason and I can only handle the water park in short sessions we got out and enjoyed the many historical places in the area. The weather wasn't the best (very cold for this time of year) but we made the best of it. First stop, Jamestown!
Jason and Jack could have spent ALL DAY in the museum reading every single word, but Wyatt and Ethan were more interested in seeing the outside exhibits.
This is from inside the old fort.
There was so much to see and touch.
They even got to try on stuff.
Ethan was thrilled to be able to chase a bird of some sort!
Then we headed down to the ships.
Ahoy matey!
Then back up and through the Indian settlement. Very different.
They each got a chance to grind corn.
And check out the hides.
Then a quick drive through Williamsburg on our way back to the GWL for the afternoon.
So pretty!
Here the boys each tried out the wave ride.
First up, Wyatt.
He did REALLY well.
Then Jack.
Not only can he skateboard but he's also a surfer dude!
Last up was Jason.
Ethan and I enjoyed taking some selfies while we waited for the boys.
We were in earlier but got out for dinner and didn't want to get back in afterward. So we came to take some photos.
I tried to get some photos of them coming out of the tunnel but they were too fast!
Wyatt rode this ride a couple times earlier in the day, but technically he wasn't tall enough and Daddy could only sneak him on a couple times. But this was the ride he desperately wanted to ride so good ol' dad to the rescue. But at night he just had to watch and wait.
While we did have fun, we have decided that the GWL in Ohio is our favorite and the North Carolina one is better than the Williamsburg one. This one was a hair smaller but did offer some good rides. They are all just a bit different from each other and, unfortunately, we were spoiled with our first experience in Ohio. Maybe one day we'll make it back up there.
While we all had fun, Jason and I decided it will be quite awhile before we go back - it's just too much to do too often! But I love that this little wolf had so much fun!
