Mini Vacation!

We're at the hotel now. Have been since 2:30 this afternoon. It's nice. And expensive.

I'm pretty certain the entire hotel is booked solid for the weekend. Here's hoping we can extend the stay by another night as needed. The room the kids & I are in technically doesn't allow pets but there were no rooms we could be traded to so they're overlooking the cats in this particular room.

We ate dinner at Denny's since it was a literal 2min walk from our room to a table there. It was nice. We also made a Walmart run for lunchables and things to eat for lunch/dinner tomorrow if we're stuck inside the hotel.

Because the hotel is so packed, I had to buy a cheap $40 playard from Walmart for Jason to sleep in. The bed is a king but Allie's an active sleeper and if the 3 of us shared it, someone would undoubtedly end up on the floor. A few times. But having an extra isn't so bad. I left ours because I was more concerned with more important things like diapers and drinks as opposed to sleeping arrangements.

It took a while for the kids to conk out. I spent $15.99+taxes to rent Mr. Poppers Penguins but that movie isn't even on DVD yet. Jason finally fell asleep during it and Allie watched most of it and fell asleep after it was over & off. Cats are just beginning their stalking & exploring.

We're up on the 4th floor at the hotel, well out of flooding range. We also have a gorgeous view of the hotel next door. Lol

I wish I knew when breakfast was. I picked up some Uncrustables and we have milk so we don't even have to brave the crowd if we don't want to. But I can't keep the kids cooped up the entire time unless its raining. If its fair enough to, we may walk the parking lot a bit tomorrow since running is not allowed in the room.

We'll see.
