Great Wolf Lodge


We took a little family vacation to the Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky, which is a combination water park/hotel. It was originally only going to be an overnight stay, but once we got settled in and enjoying the water park, we decided to stay another night. Katie had quite the time, despite her wanting to "Go Home" the first night. Jill and I had the most fun watching and chasing after Katie and trying to keep up with her. I even rode all the slides there, despite my last experience at a water park many years ago.

It was on a slide called "The Dropout" at Raging Waters in San Dimas California, which incidentally was where scenes from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" was filmed, but I digress. Having climbed the 70-some feet to the top of this slide I took one look down and was certain the angle of decent and speed would have me going ass over teakettle all the way down! I promptly retreated the same way I came, much to the chiding and derision of my best friend Mike, who did take the plunge and managed to survive intact. I attributed that however to his clean living rather than simple physics.

This time around I wanted to enjoy all the park had to offer, and if you would like to see some of the pictures they are here... Water park pics.

I keep hoping you'll come back to Raging Waters to face your fears and conquer them. Really, other than a pretty significant 'wedgie', Dropout doesn't leave you all higgledy-piggledy (which is a real mess).

You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
