Last weekend I had a terrific idea! Since our family is attempting to be with each other more and spend more quality time together, I thought it would be a great thing to plan a little getaway. I thought it would be a fun surprise to head to Great Wolf Lodge. We live fairly close to one and have yet to spend time there. I wanted to change this.
I made arrangements for our kitties to be taken care of. I made sure to dig out swim suits and gear, because it's cold here and that stuff was packed away.
Since it was going to be a surprise trip and on the fly at that, I logged onto the Great Wolf website. I put in the dates and checked on rooms. No dice. Well, let me rephrase that. There were about 3 rooms available for Friday and none for Saturday. Sigh.
I thought maybe it was a website thing, so I called them. Nope. Nothing available for Saturday but they had a room that was $419 for Friday. The extremely nice woman on the phone said that amount nonchalantly, like everyone can just fork that kind of cash over for a room for a night. As much as I wish we could, that's over half of one of our mortgage payments. Yikes! I thanked her for her time and decided my fun idea wasn't going to work out.
Someday I hope to take the kids to Great Wolf. I've heard it's a fun place to go. I just wished it would have worked our for us this time. Ah well, more planning next time. On the fly didn't seem to work this time.
