In about 11 days the family and I will be traveling to the new Kalahari Resorts & Conventions in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. And we are super excited!

We have never been to an indoor water park before so we are super excited to experience this “first” as a family.

I love a good family road trip.  So when you combine the thrills of an 100,000 square foot indoor waterpark, spa and Family Entertainment Center, I’m sold!

Showing the boys pictures of what is awaiting us during the long holiday weekend, has been pure torture as they are beyond excited!

The Kalahari Resort is African-themed and decorated with unique sculptures, paintings and other art.
