Family Vacation 2014

Since our daycare provider was on vacation, we decided to take advantage of our day off and head to Dubuque for a quick family vacation.  We stayed at the Grand Harbor Resort and enjoyed the family package, admitting us into the National River Museum and Aquarium

Reagan was so excited to go on vacation and had her suitcase packed nights ahead of time.  We couldn't of had a better time!  The weather was great, my directions were spot-on and we timed our trips to the museum and water park in between the buses of kiddos.

The museum has a cute little area that reminded me of the science center here in town where Rea got to pick a sail boat and explore the water, we tasted the infamous Falbo Bro's pizza (delicious!) and spent hours swimming at the water park. She brought her goggles and dive rings with her and loved going down the water slides with daddy. 

I did attempt the big tube slide with Rea and screamed all the way down! Much to the lifeguard's amusement... We had fun at the arcade and Reagan loved pushing the elevator buttons! Such a simple thing that gave her the biggest smile.

On the way home we decided to check out the Crystal Lake Cave. We got there just in time for a tour to start. A neat experience but only if you aren't claustrophobic!  Quite scary but we hid our fears since Reagan was loving it... "Mommy and Daddy, this is amazing!"

A very successful family vacation...can't wait to plan our next one!








































If you go with kids, definitely worth getting the 2-room suite.
















































So excited to be on vacation!



My favorite pic...family snuggle time before bed...





























Hard hat on...ready for the tour!
















This one is blurry but I love it- she was so inquisitive....


I love making these family memories for Rea....and us. Here's to many more family vacations to come!
