Vacation blues
Now that the Holidays are over I am counting down the days until our next trip. That’s one thing I love about the holidays is being with family and away from the daily grind. While I love my job, I also love watching my children’s expressions when we surprise them with a day trip, a weekend trip, or a week long vacation.
A two day trip to #greatwolflodgefoxwoods was just what we needed to recharge over the holidays. We are big fans of the breakfast buffet because it keeps us full with all of the options they have to offer and the made for you omelettes that you can order. It keeps us from purchasing lunch and holds us over until closer to dinner time.
I am counting down the days until our next trip back to #GWL since my son is now asking to go to the “Wolf Hotel” for his birthday.
After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, finding ways to recharge with family is essential. Our recent two-day stay at Great Wolf Lodge in Mashantucket, CT, was a perfect escape. What I appreciated most was how the kids' faces lit up with surprise when we revealed the trip—those moments truly make all the planning worthwhile. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast buffet. With a wide variety of options and the made-to-order omelettes, it kept us full and energized throughout the morning, allowing us to save on lunch and enjoy more activities. If you're planning a trip there, I highly recommend starting your day with this hearty breakfast—it sets a great tone for exploring the lodge and its attractions. The indoor waterpark and themed activities at Great Wolf Lodge provide fun for all ages, making it an ideal choice whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer vacation. My son is already asking to return for his birthday, calling it the "Wolf Hotel," which shows just how special the experience was to him. If you’re feeling the post-holiday blues like we were, consider planning a similar surprise trip. Days away from the daily grind, especially with family, can refresh your spirit and create unforgettable memories. Booking early for special occasions, like birthdays, also adds excitement and something for the kids to look forward to. Overall, Great Wolf Lodge offers a perfect combination of family fun, relaxation, and convenience—plus the chance to make every holiday season’s end a little brighter.
