Summer trip to Great Wolf Lodge - this is one of those places I never ever thought I’d willingly plan a trip to, but this one opened up in Northern California about 3 years ago and it looked and felt really clean! Most importantly, my kids had sooo much fun! I’m glad we did it at this age (6 and 3)
