Cragun's was a great time, though next year we'll probably shoot for a weeklong stint. Four days was still nice (and all that we could make work for this busy summer between my hectic work projects and Scot's new job)...but it took us awhile to get in our groove, just in time to pack up and head home again. Cragun's is very family friendly - we had 3 free buffet meals included in the price and there was plenty of things for the kids to do (like a dj dance party - holla!). The weather was perfect, it was late August but still warm enough to be out by the lake and play in the sand. They had a giant indoor pool and hot tub which everyone loved too. We tried renting a speedboat one afternoon, but that was a bust (naptime + wind = unhappy little people). Live and learn. We had a condo with an extra bedroom for the kids that had bunkbeds, so they thought that was really cool. On the way up to Brainerd, we stopped in St. Cloud to walk around the beautiful gardens on the opposite side of the river from campus and then dropped by campus itself (boy did we feel old!). While we were up in Brainerd, we got together with old college friends who we hadn't seen in over 10 years. All in all it was a good time.
I'll have to write more about the other trips later...it's bedtime for this girl!
