The Dells

This weekend, Chad and I went to the Dells. Instead of giving each other birthday gifts this year, we decided to do what we love most... travel. So, we took a quick weekend trip to the Wisconsin Dells.

Really, there is nothing that stands out to talk about. We stayed at Hotel Rome at Mount Olympus. The room itself was weird in that it had Pergo floors, not carpet. It did, however, have a HUGE whirlpool that we used several times. The hotel also had an indoor water park, that was okay, nothing special. Chad and I did learn, however, that hiking up all those stairs to get to a water slide, is definitely child's play, and adults should learn their age. None the less, we did several slides, and enjoyed their lazy river. They also had an indoor and an outdoor amusement park, so we did some roller coasters, and that was about it.

Food was fine... again, nothing that was to die for. I had good Chocolate Chip Pancakes at the Wintergreen Grille. Chad really loved the ribs he had at the House of Embers. We also had a restaurant deliver to us one night as we stayed in, watched TV, and used the tub again.

We also went shopping at the Tanger Outlet Malls. We both bought a new suitcase which we desperately needed. I bought a few new polos and Chad bought a new sweater and swimsuit.

So, overall, it was fun to get away and relax, but nothing so amazing we could not believe it. Still, I love travelling, and even these short weekend trips are great. Next up... a week in New Orleans in June!
