Great Wolf Lodge Concord, NC

Hello Friends: A neighbor woman friend and I just escaped for 36 hours to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge outside of Charlotte, NC proving that great girl getaways can be pretty simple. Although Great Wolf is billed as a family destination we left her four children at home and planned it for ourselves with a limited budget. It would be easy to leave husbands and children at Great Wolf for the day or if your "guys" were at the races (Lowe's Speedway), never leaving the Great Wolf premises with your kids for a day, part of your time there, would work too. But we enjoyed looking at other people's kids this trip as she left her four at home. Nothing like the unlimited shopping mecca of Concord, NC which like Potomac Mills, VA or Mall of America in Minnesota may be the biggest attraction in these states. This was shop till you drop time. Without encumbrances like children, spouses, or partners time is not an issue and 45 minutes in Victoria's Secret examining seamless underwear or push-up bras that magically make one at least two sizes larger was wonderful. Although we did decide the seamless items felt like they were made of balloon-like material. Great Wolf Resorts fits many situations and needs and would be wonderful for any type of multigenerational time and being here in North Carolina we saw many families that included soldiers about to be deployed overseas. Save airfare and check Great Wolf Lodge for one near you. Regards, Mary Gallagher
