Great Wolf Lodge, Scotrun, PA. January 2 - 4, 2024.

Ellie booked 3 days at this resort during its Thanksgiving sale.  They were still offering discounts (not as generous) at the end of 2023, so we decided to join them for a couple of days.  This entry won't be a day-by-day account of the trip, just some photos for easy access (not all taken by me).

1/2/2024 Tuesday.  Google suggested a route that connected Route US78 with US80 via US46.  On paper it may be desirable, but the traffic was quite slow at times.  The drive took close to 2 hours.

We had dinner at a pizzeria called Mad Dawdz, with a "grand opening" banner hanging on the window (credit card receipt says "Tony's on the Mountain").

I tried to put in some steps by walking on the grounds of the resort, and tripped because I missed a curb.  Thankfully no broken bones, but a couple of bruises, mostly to my ego.  I need to be more careful while out and about.

Accommodations: Great Wolf Lodge, 2 nights.

1/3 Wednesday.  Spent mostly with the grandchildren.  Played a game of "miniature bowling" and did quite poorly.

For lunch we took Everly to Poconos Chinese #1.  It was doing good business.

Dinner was at Barley Creek Brewing Company.  Ellie had a beer that cost $3 - I assume that's very inexpensive.  I had the Fish and Chips, but forgot to take a photo of it for my "collection."

1/4 Thursday.  Ellie took the older kids skiing at Camelback.  We hanged out with Everly and Kuau.  Returned home after lunch.  Traffic was heavier than I expected, but no real tie-ups along the way.  We took US80 to US280 and then joined the Garden State Parkway.









Most burgers look nothing like their advertisements, this pulled pork sandwich with bacon and onion rings, served at the Fireside in Great Wolf, is a rare exception.  It had to be disassembled before it could be eaten.
