Getting ready for our trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Charlotte this weekend!

It's been a busy week.. as always, but this week is a little different.
Besides working on AtlantaMoms.com and TheMommyInsider.com, I have been getting ready to go to Great Wolf Lodge in Charlotte to cover the Guinness Book event and Carowinds amusement park's new Intimidator ride and Planet Snoopy kids' area, this weekend.
I am very glad that the drive from Atlanta should only be about 5.5 hours with stop.. hopefully.

What's going to at Great Wolf Lodge this weekend

• Guinness World Record attempt
  Would you believe that there is going to be a Guinness World Record attempt for the longest distance traveled on waterslides over a 24-hour period? Believe it! Who thinks of these things? The event is going to help raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

I am so thrilled to be going to Great Wolf Lodge. The kids will have a blast at the indoor water park and other activities and besides watching the kids have a blast and attending the Guinness World Record attempt, I'm looking forward to having my father, who is driving up from Orlando to come with us, there with us.
