I had an amazing weekend filled with fun, friends, and indoor swimming. To celebrate the birth of two friends and escape the winter reality of Chicago (their wish not mine), a handful of us headed to what can only be described as an African sister city...that's right...I'm talking about Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. Yep, we went on a safari to the exotic Kalahari Resort where it is 84 degrees every day of the year. The Midwest's largest indoor waterpark (don't fact check please) was our playground. Lazy river. Yes please. Hot tubs and water slides. Check and check. It was an absolute blast. Oh, and let's not leave out our excursion to the Dells' one and only gay bar to experience some of Wisconsin's finest drag queens. Did they have a lady wearing a dress made out of a curtain (rings attached)? Yes, yes they did. Did they have a queen who was pushing 70? Sure did. Oh, good times kids. Good times.
Oh, one more thing. We spent much of the three hour car ride there and back with our eyes peeled for the elusive Wisconsin Werewolf that my friend assured us existed.
Only problem with the weekend...somehow the massive amounts of chlorine they pump into the air in the waterpark didn't kill whatever was growing in my throat. I am now sick as a dog and have been laid up in the bed for two days. Not happy. The gallons of tea I have been consuming have not been doing anything but keeping me awake and running to the potty. Boo hiss.

Chlorine always makes me feel crappier - more congested and all. However, I would accept such a fate to have the chance to soak in a hot tub... aaaah.
It was pretty awesome.
ooooh! there's a kalahari on the way from cleveland (where i live) to port clinton (where you take the boat to where my parents live in the summer)... i've never given it much thought, but i do love innertubes!
Give it thought! It is AWESOME! Bonus, they have bars inside the waterpark. I felt like I was on a tropical vacation. Well, a tropical vacation with tons of chlorine.
I went to Kalahari (Sandusky) in November for the first time and LOVED it! Although - I agree about the chlorine, wayy too much.
busygirl: WAY too much chlorine, but the fun totally makes up for it. It was a super fun weekend getaway.
It sounds like you've had a lot of fun! I've been wanting to go to Wisconsin Dells, but I can't find the right timing for it. Whenever I have money, my friends don't and vice versa. This time, I'll be getting a cash advance. Wisconsin Dells is really a cool place to go with your friends!
Great! Now I'm all excited for Wisconsin! Payday loans, please help me on this one!
