Since I am the Queen of coping ideas. I know sad but true. I copied the tradition of my sweet sis in law and her family. Where they get a hotel one night in December and stay the night and go look at lights and play.
Well Kevin was going to be starting a new job and was going out of town. So I thought it would be fun if we took a little get away downtown. We had some rewards money to spend at certain places so we chose through travelocity and booked the Marriott city center hotel. It actually was right next to his new work building. I didn't even know that at the time of booking it. We didn't tell Cole or Dailey we were going anywhere. We just loaded the car and headed straight to the hotel. We checked in early and the kids loved running around the room. We looked out the window at his new work building and than our room overlooked the galavan center where there ice rink was. We watched as people slid around on the ice. We even had a few laughs as people fell. Than we headed down to the pool. We were the only ones there. Since it was 3:00 in the afternoon. We swam and hung out in the hot tub. Than we went back and got ready to go out to see the lights.
We rode trax a block away and walked maybe 10 minutes and than the kids were done and wanted to go back. We saw Pier 49 on our way back and stopped in and grabbed a pizza and headed to our room. We watched tv, ate pizza, and treats and had a fun time.
The next morning Kevin headed off to Smith's to get us some breakfast since the hotel didn't have a free breakfast for us. (how rude)
Than we headed back to the pool and swam some more. The kids had a blast and we just enjoyed spending time with each other.
I think this is such a fun little thing to do and would not mind if we added it to our traditions. But we will see come next year!
