Our "Staycation"

I had Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday off last Monday, and since Jay also has Mondays off, we decided to embark on a "stay-cation" at a hotel in town. Holden's Aunt Allie and cousin Chelsey were also off, so we had a sleepover at the hotel Sunday night! It was a lot of fun just to get out of the house and go someplace different, even if we were still in town. The hotel had the cutest little adjoining rooms that you could get, very kid-friendly with bunk beds, a TV, and a small table and chairs. The kids swam in the pool and hot tub, played hide and seek, watched movies and played a Playstation that the room offered, ate lots of sugary treats, and kept us busy! :) Holden had looked forward to it for a week. He calls hotels, "Ho-towns," which cracks us up every time he says it because it sounds like we are going to a brothel or something. So innocent on his part!
Holden and Chelsey wasted no time in checking out the bunk beds.

Pool and hot tub fun at the hotel. Memaw joined us for awhile in the evening and helped me pick up carry out from the restaurant next door, Buffalo Wild Wings.

Fun in the hotel room. The picture of Holden under the sink is during hide and seek. Apparently he thought nobody could see him?! He makes me laugh.

Bright and early in the morning, we were back at the pool.

Holden talked nonstop about sleeping with the girls, but when it came down to it, he just wanted his "nigh night" (blankie) and his daddy. Here they are snuggling and watching a DVD.
