We have been compensated with a two-night stay at the Cape Codder Resort and additional amenities. Opinions are 100% our own.

Today we headed down to Cape Cod for the weekend. We were headed to The Cape Codder Resort for a couple of nights and also to Mom and Dad’s for Easter Sunday. But first we went to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Bennett. We had about 2 hours to visit before Grandma had to leave and we had to come down to the Cape Codder Resort to meet with our contact, Deb, the Vice President of the Catania Hospitality Group. Catania Hospitality Group is a family owned and operated business which includes five Hearth ‘n Kettle Restaurants, the Cape Codder Resort & Spa, The Dan’l Webster Inn & Spa, and the John Carver Inn & Spa. The organization was started in 1973 by V. J. Catania with one Hearth ‘n Kettle Restaurant and has been thriving ever since.

Deb showed us all around the property. We started the tour with the kids in tow. They couldn’t wait to see the Water Park and go swimming but there is so much more here than the Water Park. Our room is one of the newly remodeled family suites and it is wonderful. Deb personally designed the look of each room and decorated it with one of a kind artwork from local Cape artists. You can see the pride and attention to detail all over the resort.

The resort has a spa on location and Deb gave me a tour. It looks amazing. We continued on to tour one of the residences of the Cape Codder Residence Club. These three bedroom residences are incredible. I was blown away with how beautiful they look. The residence that we were in was overlooking the outdoor heated salt water pool. This pool is open all year round and it is beautiful. At night it is lit up and a waterfall starts flowing and there is also a large hot tub at the front of the pool. I haven’t gone swimming in it yet. We will go to it tomorrow. Continue reading Our Cape Codder Resort Easter Adventure Begins →

Heading Home from our #GreatWolfLodge Adventure

I think that two days of bringing my phone to the water with me at Great Wolf Lodge was tempting fate enough. So there are no images from our runs today. We got up fairly early and got ourselves ready to go to the waterpark. The main objectives today was to enjoy the waterpark and complete the MagiQuest. One goal we dominated and the other we came up short.

I went and got Allison another coffee at the Dunkin Donuts. On the way there I asked at the front desk if it was possible for us to get late checkout. We weren’t told when we checked in and got VIP status if that late checkout was part of it. So, I figured that I’d ask. They said no problem and that really took the pressure off. Now we could go and relax and enjoy our day.

We got to the waterpark at 9am when it opened and we looked around for Andrew’s Frogglez but they were not to be found anywhere. We checked the front desk via phone and then at the park itself but they were gone. They are too cool for anyone not to pass up as they walk by. So we had Andrew in regular goggles and there was the awful hair pulling for us to suffer through.

The park was pretty empty and we took advantage of that by making 8 runs in at the top of the platform. Andrew did the Otter Run four times in a row and so did I. I kept trying to catch him but he’d hit the bottom, jump up and sprint up those stairs to go again. Each time up the stairs got slower for me. Then we started going down the tube rides, Alberta Falls. I did not catch the names of both of these slides so we called them the light slide and the dark slide. The dark slide was slower and the light slide had a big drop. Andrew and I did double rides down both of those slides over and over. I kept thinking that he was going to slip out from my legs and under the tube, he wasn’t but that was my fear. He just made it for height. He’ll be able to do his own tube by himself next time. The kid has no fear. So, I’d say we dominated goal number one for the day. We did all we wanted to do in the water park in an hour and a half.
