Swim Like A Fish!

That was the name of the great package deal we found for our family getaway and we did really follow that theme! We enjoyed the lovely room at the Marriott in Mount Laurel and passes to the connected water park there. The CoCo Key Resort was so much fun, not too crowded, and a great place to play as a family. Also included were our tickets for the NJ Aquarium where we spent Tuesday morning. The girls loved looking at all the fish and Karis was even brave enough this time to touch the sharks, jellyfish, sting rays, and starfish. Lissa just stuck with the starfish.
We cashed in some of our credit card reward points and got to eat out at Red Lobster (in keeping with the Swim Like a Fish thing) and Longhorn...two of our favorites. We were hoping for a little more rest, but it was about the most restful way we could have spent our two days. It was fantastic to be staying just down the hall from the entrance to the water resort! Also, the girls and I loved having Joe all to ourselves for two and a half days!



This picture shows just one of the play areas. We also enjoyed the lazy river, the hot tub pool, the pirate ship (Elissa's favorite), the basketball pool, three large water slide tunnels, and the outdoor pool.









(If you have a way to enlarge these, you need to see Karis' face in this one! She is such a ham!)

It looks like you all had a wonderful time. I love Karis' faces. Judging by the last picture, she must get that special talent from her Daddy!
