Vacationing in Minnesota: Arrowwood Lodge at Brainerd Lakes

I know that summer is starting to wrap up and kids are getting ready to head back to school but for us our vacations are just starting!  My boys do not go back to school until after Labor Day here in Minnesota and that gives us the entire month of August to plan our trips. 

In just a little over a week we will be heading to Brainerd, Minnesota for a fun filled family weekend.  We have been in Minnesota just two years and have so much of the beautiful state to explore and enjoy still.  I have had Brainerd on my list of places to go even before we moved so this trip is something I am really looking forward to!  I cannot wait to spend some time enjoying the scenery, fishing, hiking and playing at the waterpark! 

I came across this awesome looking resort in Brainerd called Arrowwood Lodge at Brainerd Lakes that is complete with an amazing Indoor Waterpark to play at, this is where we will be staying for our weekend get away!
