It was a fun and peaceful getaway! Waterpark ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Y’all know that we love Waterparks, while this is a lot smaller than most Waterpark we have visited. At my kids ages 9 & 6 — I felt comfortable letting them explore the Waterpark for the first time. It was not that hard to spot them from the distance. Also, they had a more than one lifeguard per area. Now, you still have to ensure that, as a parent, you are checking on your kids often. After all, it’s a Waterpark, and your kids are your responsibility. So, keep that in mind! If you are going or adding to your bucket list! Let me know in the comments! 😎 Resort dining options and food ⭐️⭐️ Most restaurants were closed due to staffing, contributing to the two start. Location ⭐️⭐️⭐️ In upstate New York, traffic can be terrible, and you will lose phone service. Please be prepared and ensure you have a map or printed directions.

You will need a waistband (to access the waterpark, and also the open the room doors) So, so you can’t really cheap 😬 If you are tired of all the crowded waterparks with poor customer service and room issues.

Best Kids-Friendly Restaurant in Washington, DC 📌 Share with a friend and save for later! Easy Company Wine Bar 📍 98 Blair Alley SW, Washington, DC 20024 ✨Daily Happy Hour Starting at 6 pm ✨Restaurant Week start TODAY until 9/3 ✨Family Friendly ✨Try the wine slushy and let me know how y’all like it 🤪 ✨ Passed the vibe check 😅 🍷It’s restaurant week, y’all! You can get a three-course meal for the low. Let me be more explicit here. Lunch is $25, and Dinner is $55 until 9/3. This is the week you want to eat and save some coins. 🍷Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We tried a little of everything, and the food was excellent. My favorite was the Stake Frites and the Kid’s Calamari. The kids ordered pizza! Of course, we got a desert! ☺️ 🍷Drinks: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Strong… They have a great selection of wine and cocktail options. The Bartender can also make drinks based on what you want. We try everything! Whoever guessed how much our bill was would get two drinks on us. If you can guess! 🍷Services: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I appreciated all the staff members for being caring and attentive, especially towards the kids. They made it easy for us to enjoy a date night while the kids had their own table. 🍷Family-Friendly: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ 💯 — Don’t let these types of places fool you. They can be and are family-friendly. Watch the video! Talk to the kids and be honest about why you are there. Mommy and Daddy are going on a date. (Talk) Don’t do XYNZ and boom. Everyone can have a great time. 🍷Parking: ⭐️ Yes, our bill was $78. I met my husband there, and we both had to pay for our parking garage tickets. So, be mindful that parking will cost you money. The best way to get there is to catch the Metro as it is more cost-effective. Don’t stop dating because you don’t have a babysitter— you need to know where to go and make peace with the fact that your kids will have to join you. If you go, let us know how it was! Have FUN, and don’t drink too much 😂
