Great Wolf Blog #1

This is our second day at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas. We arrived in Addison, a suburb just north of Dallas, on Saturday around 2:30pm. Stayed at LaQuinta on Landmark Blvd. Very spacious room, large bathroom, beautiful outdoor courtyard, lobby with lots of elbow room, and a decent breakfast . . . all for a very comfortable price. Daydreamed about a ladies' weekend away to take in some Sam Moon shopping (only 6 miles away), Saturday Symphonics in the park (just up the road from the hotel), American Girl and the Galleria to browse or shop (just 2 miles away), lots of restaurants both fancy or casual, essentials shopping very close as well, and I'm sure much more to discover.

Our first day was eventful with shopping for Mom and Sierra at Sam Moon, the van's alternator scare that turned out to just be the battery, shopping for Sierra at American Girl, quick stop for the boys to get some cookies at the Galleria mall (Sierra even got to get her hair curled at a kiosk while we waited), dinner at BJ's, chill time for Dad in the LaQuinta courtyard, and chill time in the room for the rest of us. Learned that for future trips we need more than 2 double beds, ha! ha!

God moment: The realization that Sam Moon and American Girl were so close without Ramiro even realizing it when he made the reservations several weeks ago!
