For a history buff, Gettysburg is one of those places that just belongs on the bucket list. While my husband was sure of the historical sights he wanted to see, we were unsure where to stay overnight.
One of the things we love about traveling with our children is making memories. As we have learned with our soon to be 17-year-old, time is precious. Spending time with family is our main goal. We love to find unique places, different from just the run of the mill vacation to make it that much more memorable. For example, my husband would rather take a gamble on a hole in the wall local restaurant. He always hopes of finding a hidden jewel versus a chain restaurant anytime.
With our recent trip to Kings Dominion, we needed to find a place to stay for a couple of nights. Since we live four hours away, we wanted to find a place near the park. We wanted to be nearby so we could check into the day before attending the park. That way, we could be at the gate as early as possible. Knowing it would be a late night (since we would stay all day), we figured we would spend the night after a day at the park, as well.
Living two hours away from Carowinds has spoiled us over the years. My husband and I both had the opportunity to come for the day with our youth groups and friends as teenagers. Now, we come for the day to have fun with our own children! In all the years past, we really missed it! We missed the chance to make Carowinds more than just a day trip. Have you ever thought of STAYING at Carowinds? Now you can at Carowinds Camp Wilderness!
