We're doing last year's Outer Banks vacation in reverse! Last year, we were evacuated (Hurricane Earl) while at the beach, stayed in Williamsburg at the Hampton Inn while waiting to get into Great Wolf Lodge. This year, we were evacuated (Hurricane Irene) before we even left home for the beach, so we started with Great Wolf Lodge and then the Hampton Inn while we waited to get into the Outer Banks. The kids especially loved their Great Wolf Lodge kids' cabin--a cabin just for them inside the hotel room with bunk beds and a day bed.
For two days, we played in the pools and rode the waves and the slides at Great Wolf, and had a great time! Sam loved the little fountains and the play areas designed just for kids his size!
Here are Will and Dad, riding the boogie board!

We're thankful for such a fun place to go with our other evacuated friends for a couple days! But truthfully, we're hoping for a full seven days at the beach next year with no Great Wolf stop, despite how much fun it is!
