Tropical Island Spring Break

Spring Break 2017.  We originally planned to go to Normandy France.  We even had a hotel booked and started planning our week vacation.  Well, things didn't go as planned and Jeremy couldn't take leave so unfortunately he wasn't able to leave.  Sad.  Since Jeremy really wanted to go to Normandy, we sat the kids down and asked what they wanted to do for Spring Break.  They chose Tropical Island, Zoo, Aquarium.  So we decided to book our Spring Break in Berlin.  The Tropical Island is about an hour outside Berlin.  I was a little worried not having my walking GPS, aka Jeremy, with me as we explored this new area.  But Jeremy help prepare us so well.  We had maps and directions and Jeremy even programed the GPS with Esso stop 1, 2, 3, etc.  He had everything prepared and ready for us to make the trip so easy.  He is awesome.  We missed him like crazy but so glad for the opportunity to explore Europe with my kids.  Grateful for a wonderful husband that takes such good care of us and provides so well. We left Sunday April 4 and came home Friday April 7, 2017

The kids and I ready for a fun week. 

This was the little village we stayed in.  It was about 20 minutes from the
Tropical Island. 

It's beginning to look like Spring.  BEAUTIFUL!

My kids are always so kind to stop for this picture loving MOM!

The kids loved getting to our hotel and finding Chocolate on their beds.

We made it.  We finally made it to the Tropical Island,

Tropical Island is actually a gigantic dome.
It was originally built as an airship hanger.  However, it was gutted and
turned into this massive waterpark.
The dome is 360 meters long, 210 meters wide and 107 meters high.
It's eight football fields.  CRAZY BIG!

The dome is also a huge Rainforest is has around 50,000 plants 600 different varieties also
flamingos, macaws,peacocks and pheasants.
They have all kinds of ponds with fish too.  They had statues all over the dome as well.

I tried to take pictures of the kids in each of the sections.
This was one of the main sections
"Tropical Sea"

Waterslide corner. 

This was a little slide but man was it super fast.
People can rent these tents to stay in the dome.

I took this picture up from the Slides.  This is only a picture of the Tropical Sea
Can you see how huge this place is? 

The Amazonia was by far our favorite part.
Amazonia is Tropical Island newest park just opened in 2016. It's a
year-round outdoor water park.

One of the the guards let me sneak out the Employee entrance and snap a couple pictures.
The highlight is the White water River with a jet stream. It's 250 meters long
and has different branches and slopes.  This place was so much fun.
I think the kids and I must have ridden this ride at least 50 times.  Maybe more.
We spent an entire hour on it before they closed the attraction.  One ride after the other No breaks!

I really loved the whirlpool and bubble beds.  It was a blast. 

This is the massive drop off after the White Water River.

We even got to play and walk in the Sand.
It was perfect!!!

I really thought the Lagoon was pretty magical. 

This picture didn't turn out super clear but I just love that it documents
The kids and I with the waterfall in the background.  LOVE!

You can kind of see some of the Rainforest behind the fountain. 

Kayden having fun underwater.
You can see the bottom of the pool is metal.  

Cute Chandler.

Beautiful Brooklyn striking a pose underwater.

After 12 hours at the dome we were sooo tired.  We headed back to our hotel for a good nights rest
before finishing the drive to Berlin and checking into our hotel there.
