As if you needed another reason to visit Great Wolf Lodge Pocono Mountains, their newest addition is about to be unveiled. To compliment their themed-suites and 84 degree outfitted indoor waterpark, The Double Barrel Drop* is sure to be a crowd pleaser. The description on Great Wolf's Web site reads "a high speed, six-story adventure that starts with a drop into a huge funnel, a 450 degree turn into a dark vortex tunnel and then a second funnel. This is followed by a 450 degree hairpin turn that shoots you into the second vortex before splashing down!"
Can you say...AWESOME! I cannot wait to try it! Be sure your family is one of the first to try the latest attraction by booking their Double Barrel Drop Package during the month of April. The promotion is valid on all suites and includes waterpark passes for your entire stay.
After a day full of waterpark fun, story time and engaging in a game of MagiQuest, be sure to treat yourself to a spa treatment at Elements spa. And your children can do the same. Scooops is an ice cream themed spa designed exclusively for children 4-12 years of age. You have to see it for yourself!
Head to Great Wolf Lodge Pocono Mountains and take a family vacation that all ages can enjoy. See you on the Double Barrel Drop... if you dare!
*Riders must be at least 48" minimum in height









Growing up the daughter of Margaret Anne Ryan there was little chance of me not embracing my Irish heritage, no matter how long ago my ancestors crossed the mighty, mighty seas. Mom was one of seven including twins Kathleen and Patrick born on... you guessed it, St. Patrick's Day.
On March 14, in the historic town of Jim Thorpe, everyone is Irish for the day! Celebrate the joyous history and culture of the Irish with your family. Festivities start early and will spill throughout the streets. Enjoy live entertainment, as well as the famous St. Patrick's Day Parade. Treat your family to a lunch or dinner of corned beef and cabbage, or maybe some Guinness beef stew at one of the many

So here we are again desperately awaiting the arrival of spring but dealing with the lion's component of March. I'm sure you all know the old adage "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb". Well it got me to thinking does that always hold true? I would have to say three days into March it seems to be spot on. I'm looking out my office window at grey skies, snow lined streets and temperatures in the mid 30's. I've decided that I am going to test the laurels of this famous saying and let you know at the end of the month just how lion and lamb like March turned out to be. In the meantime, I would love for you to check out our very own LION...
Yea, that's right; we have a lion right here in the phenomenal Pocono Mountains. It's not a traditional lion, but it's our lion, the
It was around Thanksgiving when I thought (and I stress the word thought), it would be cute to help Nicholas create his first work of art for his scrapbook. My kitchen table was stocked with a variety of non-toxic paint, construction paper, ribbon and buttons. My idea for his project was to make a Thanksgiving turkey portrait by using his hand as the turkey. Carefully, I painted Nicholas' tiny hand with red paint. My PLAN was to place his painted hand on the center of the paper and pepper the rest of the masterpiece with buttons and ribbons. Unfortunately, Nicholas wasn't having it. He cried and slapped his hand all over the construction paper. The finished product ended up looking like a picture of a murder scene rather than a cutesy turkey picture. Perhaps I should wait until he is a little older for crafts that include paint. All in all, it was a great memory and looking back at it now, it's funny.
