Dells Vacation Part 3 More Water Park and Moosejaw Brewing Company

 

Tuesday we spent more time in both water parks, it was great to have the extra day to relax. We did manage to get an increase of cuts and bruises on this trip. I flipped backward in my tube in the wave pool and scraped by elbows. We also bumped shins when we went down the mammoths, amongst many other scraps and bumps. We also managed to get a bit of a tan in the wave pool. Never had time to make it to the fitness center but every slide had 70 plus stairs so we got quite a workout!

 

The one interesting thing of the day was we managed to go on the Hurricane with this lady and her 6 year old daughter. The girl was so little I did not think they would let her on, but they did. As soon as we flew down the slide into the funnel I grabbed that little girls hand and clamped on so she would not go anywhere. When it was over she was scared but loved it!

 

After hanging out in the water park all day, we went to try a new restaurant to us, Moosejaw Pizza and Brewing Company.

 Great service, great beer, and good food at Moosejaw. The restaurant was packet for a Tuesday night and now we know why. We will certainly go back!

 

The beer is brewed upstairs

 Day three wrapped up with episodes of Full House, the Nanny, and Friends.

 

Wednesday we checked out, bought some chocolate at Goody Goody Gum Drops and left Glacier Canyon relaxed and sad to leave the Dells. We were happy to be heading home to see the kitties. We stopped at Dunkin Donuts so I can pick up one of my fall favorites, Pumpkin K Cups and Pumpkin Munchkins. What a great summer vacation, even if it was end of summer!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Dells Vacation Part 2 Water Park and Sprecher's Restaurant

 

Monday, day 2 of our vacation in the Dells started out with more waterpark time. This time we decided to spend some time in the Wild WaterDome, which is the countries largest indoor wave pool at 70,000 square feet. This picture was taken of it at night so it is not the greatest.

The roof is made of glass which allows for year round sun shinning through and tanning. We had so much fun relaxing in the sun and riding the waves every 10 minutes. They have one other ride in this area which is the Dueling Mammoth raft ride which is such fun! After hanging out there for awhile we went back to Klondike Kavern for some more lazy river/ hot tub/ waterslide fun.

All I wanted was a tropical sno, there were signs everywhere advertising it. This stand did not open all 3 days, I guess it is only open on the weekends. No Tiger Blood for me :(

Look out for the Hurricane

For dinner that night we went to a restaurant for our most favorite brewery Sprechers. They had a football special, 3 appetizers and 4 beers for $28. Looks like not a lot of people got the memo because the restaurant was pretty empty, but we were super stoked to be there.

Before dinner, dress from White House Black Market

 



Ready for dinner!

What to order?

I got this awesome Rooty paper hat

All the beer and soda on tap

Beer #1 Oktoberfest for me, Stout for Justin

We decided on Chicken Nachos



Pretzel Sticks and BBQ Chicken Pizza

Food was excellent and we had so much fun watching the Eagles and the Redskins. The apps were filling enough and there was no need for any main dishes.

Beer #2 for me was Abby Triple, one of my favorites. Justin had the same again. I even got to sample a Sprecher beer I never had, El Ray. I'll be buying that and Oktoberfest when we go to the brewery later this month.

Love this picture of Justin!

Another shot in the Rooty hat

Heading back after a great dinner!

 

Lots of fun on day 2 and more to be had day 3.

 

 

 



How I Spent My Summer Vacation... Dells 2013 Part 1

Wisconsin Dells 2013

We finally got to take our summer vacation this past Sunday through Wednesday and it lived up to expectation. We were pretty busy this summer and were not able to take our annual vacation until this weekend. Our destination of choice- Wisconsin Dells, WI AKA Waterpark Capital of the WORLD!! We really enjoy going to the Dells and this was our fourth trip there. We stayed at Glacier Canyon at Wilderness Territory.

 

Sunday we headed out for the Dells and made good time arriving there around 3:30pm. Unfortunately we stopped at the worlds slowest McDonald's in Lake Geneva. When we got to the Dells we went to check at the Tanger's Outlet. We had a great coupon, spend $75 and get a $10 gift card. This is not too hard to do when they have a Coach outlet :). I purchased this super cute new bag:

They wrapped it so nicely like a present.

 

Love the navy and yellow, so different

So I bought this, got my $10 gift card, and then used it to get a 3/4 length sweater at White House Black Market for only $10, score!

 

Afterwards we headed straight to the resort to check in. During check in we found out they gave us the same room as last year 4085, good thing we liked that room!

Since we typically go in off season we are able to get a 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath condo for pretty cheap. After we un packed we headed off to de stress at the waterpark. We floated around the lazy river, went in the indoor/outdoor hot tub, went on the tube slides, and took on the Hurricane (one of those tornado slides). After we relaxed for a bit we went back to the room to make dinner. We typically cook in the first night to save a bit.

After dinner we watched the Giants loose to Dallas before calling it a night.

 

Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3.
