Toddler Friendly Dallas Staycation at Jade Waters

Blog

We live in such a fast paced World, it’s so important for us to slow down and enjoy the little things. I know I get caught up all the time in work and going through the motions that I find myself missing little moments in my life that pass me by without any notice. It’s hard to keep up with it all; being a mom, a wife, a business owner, a friend, and daughter.  While I try to remind myself that I can’t do it all, it’s overwhelming still trying. Since my husband and I both own businesses and work from home, it’s hard to “turn off” our minds and truly relax. While I know it’s imperative and crucial for us, it’s hard.

Because we are so wrapped up in our house and work place, I try to schedule many outings for us and staycations. I love staycations because we don’t have to go far, we don’t have to find dog sitters and thankfully we live a jump, hop and skip from Dallas so we have everything in arms reach that we could ever want to do. Last year, I really wanted to check out Jade Waters at the Hilton Anatole but Bryce was only a couple months old and the last thing I wanted to do was be in the heat while trying to care for a newborn. This year he was old enough to partake in fun activities so we booked a room to see what it was all about.

I love the Hilton Anatole, it is a resort hidden in our backyard full of amenities including a water park, many restaurants, bars, an art gallery and more. (If you haven’t been during Christmas, you don’t want to the Hilton Anatole Peppermint Park)

Jade Waters, the Dallas resort pool, is included in with hotel stay! JadeWaters offers a tidal wave of features.

The Leisure Cove Pool is an adult only pool that is available on the weekends. If you want to plan a girls weekend or date night and don’t want to include the kids, this area is amazing! No kids are allowed in this section so enjoy a couple stiff drinks and lounge around without worrying about being splashed by your sweet child.

If you’re bringing little ones, there is so much for them to do! You can purchase a FunPass for each kid for $29. This will allow them entrance to Geppetto’s Marionette Show, participate in the Duck Race, Make fun crafts in the Kids Kraft section, Play Poolside Bingo, Take a Ride on the Express Train and Have fun in the Root beer garden party. If you don’t want to purchase the FunPass, no biggie. Your kid can still participate in the fun activities by purchasing them separately. If your kid wants to do it all,  the Fun Pass is great savings so be sure to look at all your options.

There are two 180ft winding water slides in the water park that you and your kids can splash down. Once you’re finished riding the slide, hop in the lazy river and float the day away. Since Bryce is still little, I loved that there was a splash pad and kid area that he could play in. It was perfect for him to get wet and play his little heart out without me having to worry.

Swimming always makes me so hungry, so it was great that there is a Jade Waters Grill and Bar located right next to all the pool and activities. We enjoyed chicken strips and lots of drinks. I love that there is a real bar outside next to the pool. Who doesn’t love to enjoy a margarita or summer drink next to the pool?

A variety of activities like duck races, movies under the stars, pool parties and more take place on weekends for kids and families! Registered guests can purchase a FunPass to use during their stay at www.AnatoleKids.com.

While I could use an adult getaway as much as the next person, after a fun day at Jade Waters we were able to put Bryce to sleep in his stroller and eat at Media Grill. We always make a stop while we are there because the food is so good. We always start with their charcuterie board to share because it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. For this visit, I noshed on the Crispy Skin Salmon that was laid perfectly on sweet corn succotash, bacon lardons, bell peppers, and corn puree.

If you don’t have little ones with you, I highly recommend eating at Ser Steakhouse located in the Hilton Anatole. Not only is the food amazing but the view of Downtown Dallas is amazing. If you don’t feel like dining anywhere, Counter Offer is perfect. It offers grab and go dining such as sandwiches, sushi, juices and more. We always stop by there because there is a Starbucks located there and who doesn’t need a coffee pick me up.

If you’re looking for a toddler friendly staycation in Dallas or a fun getaway from the kids, Jade Waters at Hilton Anatole offers it all!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
