Have you ever cut a holiday short and come home early?

What does that mean??

It’s from 2017, had died in March 2017 then resurrected today. There have been a few old threads popped up lately.

Yet another zombie thread.

Yeah, but there were replies from several posters who have disappeared since then, and reading those brought back some good memories.

An older threat revived by a new post which is actually what the DIS Boards suggest you do instead of starting a new thread.

I've gone home early on many occasions mostly due to weather. Camping and/or driving an RV in storms is not my idea of fun so I just leave early and make it home safely if possible or necessary.

Yup, we took a 4 night weekend with the kids to various places in Wisconsin, and the last two nights were at Great Wolf Lodge. We were planning on staying there the entire day the day of checkout, and leaving for home at about 5pm.

We woke up the morning of checkout and the news was abuzz with an incoming snowstorm that was supposed to bring about a foot of snow. Roads were going to be going from bad, to worse, to hazardous, to impassable as the day progressed. We looked outside and the flurries were just starting to cover the ground. DH and I talked about it and decided that since it wasn't going to get better, we should head out sooner than later.

Bummer. I still wish we could have stayed the whole day. That trip was the most fun trip we ever took with the kids. It was a shame that we had to cut it short.

When DH was deployed, about halfway through, I needed to get out of town. DD was 6 and DS was 12. Decided to get a room at Great Wolf Lodge, and surprised the kids when they got home from school on a Friday evening.

It was such a GREAT getaway. The kids STILL remember getting room service. I was getting my masters degree and I camped out on a lounge chair to study while the kids played. Such a great memory.

ETA: Wow. Missed that it was a 7-year old thread! Oh, well.

And yes, we did. We were camping in Michigan. The "campsite" was more of a motor home park -- we were the only tent campers. It rained the whole time, and DS sprained his wrist -- I spent a night with him in the emergency room. Felt like the Beetlejuice waiting room -- the ER was packed. One kid had just learned to cast and took a fishhook to his eyelid (yes, they let him sit in the waiting room). Another was a prisoner from a local jail who'd been shanked.

We left the next morning. Between the rain and DS's wrist, we were done.
