We traveled a lot this summer, which I hope to catch up on in the coming days or weeks. Unfortunately, our last week of vacation didn't end up quite as we expected. We ended up having to turn around half way and cut our trip short. That happened just over a week ago. The kids were very disappointed, but were so good about it. On our way home, Francis and I talked about taking the kids just for an overnight stay at a local hotel...just to spend time together (and swim!). It wouldn't make up for what we lost the week before, but we hoped it would bring them a little bit of happiness. We didn't tell them what we were doing... secretly packing the car... and just told them we had to run a few errands. After going to the bank, we drove to the hotel. They were so excited and surprised. It was better then we could have expected. The room was simply gorgeous:
Isaac slept on the fold out couch bed:
Gracie had a queen bed to herself:
We swam as soon as we checked in, which was so much fun. We had the pool to ourselves. We went out to supper and then came back to hang out in the room and tuck a very tired Ruthie into bed. In the morning we ate a very yummy breakfast at the hotel and quickly changed back into our swimsuits for a swim before checking out.
It was a short time away... but just what the 5 of us needed before the summer ended. School starts on Tuesday!!!
