We couldn't head out of town over Memorial Day weekend. I was scheduled to assist John and Shannon with the birth of their first baby....due date was past....had to stay close by.
So Tommy T and I decided to take the kids to the Doubletree hotel for a slumber party. We bought a family package (which I highly recommend)...which included a free in-room movie, snacks and soda for 5, room service dinner for 5, breakfast for five at their restaurant, and a $50 gift card to fast lanes....all for $40 more than a regular room. The sky didn't look this way that day...it was rainy, rainy, rainy.
Doubletree is glorious - if only for their hot chocolate chip cookies they give you upon check-in. 
(see cookie in hand.)

We checked in on Sunday night and let the kids play.
We learned long ago that we must disconnect the phone before we do anything else. There is no telling what kind of charges will end up on our bill, otherwise.

We were on the 4th floor. They probably flagged our account and will banish us to the 1st floor is we were return. Those poor, poor people underneath us.
The kids chose "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" as their in room movie. Bryce at a king Size Peanut Butter cup....by himself....the entire thing when nobody was looking.
Monday we enjoyed breakfast and swimming....lots of swimming....and of course the hot tub...Bryce's favorite.
We checked out at noon and headed back to the house for a day of playing with friends....but still no baby.... that day :)
Stay tuned for the story of Addison Bell's debut!

Those hotels always remind me of Mitch Hedberg (comedian), because he had a bit about them:
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you what hotel I'm stayin' in, but there are two trees involved. They said, "Let's call this hotel Something Tree", so they had a meeting; it was quite short. "How 'bout Tree?" "No." "Double Tree." "Hell yeah! Meeting adjourned!" I had my heart set on Quadruple Tree... and we were almost there!
It's WAY funnier when you hear his delivery, but I thought I'd share it anyway.
(If you've never heard of Mitch and look him up, I recommend sticking with his t.v. appearances where he has to keep his language clean--just don't want to offend anyone).
