our weekend @ double JJ ranch






This past weekend we went away to the double JJ ranch in Rothbury with Dave, Rachelle & Sam. Sam had his implant turned on last week, so this was his reward, so he took the girls with him, and we made a weekend of it. It was great, but COLD. The facilities itself was amazing. We stayed at the new thoroughbreed suites, which is next door to the waterpark. We had 2 fireplaces, 2 plasma TV's, a heated garage and a full kitchen (thank you rachelle for the cooking.) We had a walkway to the main restaurant area, and we only had to walk outside about 50 feet to get to the waterpark. There is so much to do....snow tubing, sleigh rides, dog sled rides, horse ranch, petting farm, it was just a litttle to cold for all that. The water park is nice with a wave pool attached to the lazy river that the kids loved, but there is not a lot for the little kids to do. The kids slides were enclosed and a little to fast for the girls, and not as big as a fort like Great Wolf Lodge. They had an "o" shapped hot tub that half was inside and half was outside, so the girls thought that was cool. Overall, it was a great weekend and believe it or not, very relaxing. We got a lot of sleep, some adult beverages, awesome conversation, whipped around on a few water slides, and great food, not to bad for a weekend.
