We travel a lot. So much now that I am convinced that staycations - or travel nearby our home is the best thing for our family. The Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA is only 3 hours from our front door. It is the best family vacation hands down. We had so much fun that we cannot wait to go back. About the Lodging: When we arrived at the Great Wolf Lodge, we arrived early. This is allowed. Even though your room is not available you can check in and play at the amazing water park that … [Read more...]

Canoe Journey: Our Tribe is Hosting this Year!
Last year we enjoyed the annual Canoe Journey; though camping for over a week with a toddler was a little crazy. This year is a much shorter canoe pull for our family canoe - the Salmon Dancer. 4 days of travelling on the Salish Sea is doable. {Well, I was not paddling just driving A LOT.} Each night we came home, since we were close enough.
