we have been needing a night away for awhile. we have been through a lot the last couple of months, between Owen being put down and our foster child coming and going.
he didn't want to tell me where we were going but said it was somewhere we had been before. which either meant the dells or door county.
the night before we left, we stopped to get him a hair cut and as we were leaving the girl said "hope you have a great time at the Kalahari!" and i turned around and said "HA!" because now i knew where we were headed :)
i was really excited because we hadn't been to the dells since we were last at the Kalahari for his graduation FOUR years ago!
we ended up leaving around 1pm. when we got there, we decided to drive around a bit to see all the new stuff that they had been done around town. it was surprising to see how much it had changed in those four years.
when we went to check in they said the room wasn't ready yet, so we headed to the outlet mall across the street. after a bit of shopping, we decided it wouldn't make sense to check in before we ate an early dinner. that way, once we were checked in, we could just head to the waterpark and stay at the hotel the rest of the night.
we went to Marley's for dinner, of course! they have great food and drinks (but WAY overpriced!) i had a bahama mama and coconut shimp. mark had rum and coke and a fish fry.
once we were checked into the hotel, we realized our room was ridiculous! they tried to claim that there were two queen size beds in our room. there was NO WAY they were queen sized beds, plus we didn't need TWO beds! they offered to measure the beds, but after some persuading we got a free upgrade to a king size bed room. the room was fantastic, and a bit unnecessary for our one night. it had a kitchen and living room and a separate bedroom.
after getting settled in, we headed to the water park. we spent a little over an hour at the indoor waterpark. we had a really good time and then headed back to our room to hang out and go to bed.
unfortunately we both didn't sleep very well, so we were up around 7 and went to Cracker Barrel for a yummy breakfast. and then of course had to do a little shopping.

then when the water park opened, we went back to hang out for awhile until it was time to head home!
it was so nice to get away with the hubby! we really enjoyed ourselves and were able to relax a little.
and we had a great time celebrating Mother's Day with our mom's yesterday. :)
