Willow Valley

On Thursday and Friday, my friend Kristy and I piled our kids into our mini-van and headed to Pennsylvania for a short trip. First stop was the Willow Valley Inn in Lancaster. Our boss had recommended this as a good hotel for young kids and I couldn't agree more. The kids enjoyed time in 3 of their 4 pools, one of which is a water playground with this small frog slide and one bigger waterslide.
After dinner, we took a little time to explore some of the other amenities and just enjoy the beauty of the hotel grounds. There was a great playground for the kids on the far side of the pond,

and a small corn maze that the kids loved tromping through.

We got the kids to bed nice and early at 9:15 pm (that was sarcastic) so they could be well-rested for the next day's adventure.
