So we took it upon ourselves to revisit some of the most basic and helpful packing rules to make packing mostly trouble-free and your trip as fulfilling as possible.

This past July, my family and I went on a Carnival Cruise. Traveling has been one of those hot topic discussions since COVID-19. Some people are still scared to venture out, but we have taken necessary precautions with every trip we have been on. The biggest question I have received since coming home from our cruise vacation is what has changed? So, I decided to share some things we have noticed as well as include some essentials to help you if you decide to travel post COVID.
This vacation was epic! A little positivity can go a long way. We didn't know what we were doing (although the new Genie app helped out a ton), but we had so much fun along the way. We did a little research on what rides we wanted to try before we headed to the park by watching as many Disney+ specials and YouTube videos we could. We didn't use an agent. We kind of spontaneously booked before we let anyone talk us out of it, but we have been wanting to go since 2020. Well, I have been wanting to go for years, but that's another story. I went to Magic Kingdom when I was 18 but haven't been back since. My husband and kids have never been. Since the kids didn't really want anything for Christmas, we decided to bite the bullet and give them this trip as their Christmas presents. Masks are now optional there and my family is fully vaccinated (that topic is not up for debate please and thank you).
So since we didn't go anywhere at all last year for winter or spring break plus basically missed my birthday, I decided I wanted to go somewhere that I have been wanting to take the kids, but have personally never been and that was Great Wolf Lodge in LaGrange, GA.
We decided to make a weekend trip and here are my tips to get the most out of your family trip to Great Wolf Lodge in LaGrange, GA.
If you could have told me this would have been the last time my family and I went on a cruise for a while and still with little known about the future, I would have made sure we went on more. I can hardly wait for cruising to open back up. It is my favorite family vacation ever.
In 2019 for Fall Break, my family and I decided to travel on a family cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozumel. We went with my in-laws again, but we decided to do things a little differently. One thing we made sure we did was to book the excursions we wanted and not let others influence our choice. Cruises are a great way to have extended family vacations while also have time alone if you'd like.
