Road Trip

So when we got our floors refinished, we had to empty two rooms and three closets into the rest of our apartment. The house had small discrete pathways carved out. The girls are a challenge to keep out of trouble in a nursery of open space. In a dense forest of towers of teetering stuff and volatile organic compounds from the stain and finish, it was time to leave. So any city that had a hotel with pool at a good price became a destination. We visited Stamford CT, Philadelphia PA, and Atlantic City NJ. Growing up, the central purpose of going on vacation seemed to be the hotel pool. And every night we hit the pool. And as usual, I am about 2 years early for what the girls would enjoy. The pools were heated but not warm enough. What the girls did love were the safes and the remotes. Here is a video of the girls cracking the safe in Atlantic City. Here are a few other photos from the trip. Edna and I make it into photos so rarely, we might as well use the ones we have.

I think that's what hotels are for too, to go swimming and to jump on the beds!

Post pics of your new floors!

How fun, yeah in a couple more years you won't be able to drag the girls away from the pool! Of course having skinny kids myself, I know it does have to be the right temperature!

It was fun to meet the girls and catch up with you all. I wish Blair could have been home to visit, too. Maybe the next time you do construction you'll want to venture a little further south---to Virginia! (Right near the beach--great vacation spot!) 'Cuz that's where we'll be for the next 3 yrs. Thanks for stopping by!

Your girls just get more and more adorable! I'm glad to hear you are doing well. That's great you were in Utah for a visit. We are planning to visit this summer!
