Great Dismal Swamp, VA (USA)

The kids and I checked out the wildlife preserve today. It is on the Virginia-North Carolina border and actually has wild bears. We walked on a few old roads and boardwalks looking for them, but they never came out of the swamp. We did see signs of them - they like to scratch their claws on the 4X4s on the boardwalk. Later, we explored around Suffolk to see if we could find the Planters' Peanut factory - we did, but they don't do tours... Instead, drove over to Williamsburg and checked out the Great Wolf Lodge. It is a HUGE indoor water park! We tried out the "Cub Club" activities center and got information for visiting the place some time. It looks like it would be very fun around Christmas or the New Year. Had dinner at a Waffle House on the way home - both Erin and Mollie very sick after driving around in the car all day.
