Hotel Fun

A few weeks ago, Elem, Seth, and I all went for a little mini Memphis Vacation to visit the grandparents. To make it a little more fun, we booked a great hotel room to make it feel even more like a vacation. And it was so much fun! Elem has only staid in a hotel room a very few times, so I knew he would love it. And as soon as we checked in to the hotel, and headed towards the "alligator" as he likes to call it, meaning elevator, there was no fear that he wasn't going to LOVE this stay! I mean who doesnt love a hotel room, right? It's kind of like a bonus to your vacation, to get to stay in a new bed, and not have to clean your room or make your bed the whole time you are there. Although I personally get a little stressed out in hotel rooms, only because of the mess. And I like to keep things nice and neat and in piles and what not, just to keep myself sane But that is another whole story itself. So back to the trip-
We went right up to the room, and of course he had to hitch a little ride on the cart that we piled all of our bags on, which I believe is like a staple for all children when staying in a hotel. :)


Next stop...and most likely the fave of the room: THE BED. And what a huge and fabulous bed it was! Elem was so happy to be able to jump till his little hearts content and hide under all of the pillows. It was non stop laughter and giggling, and some of the biggest smiles I have ever seen.


He barely posed for this pic, I convinced him he needed to take a breather so he could hide really really good before daddy came back inside the room. Little dude in a big bed. I love it!


Another wonderful thing about our room, it had like a mini divider that sectioned off the bed and bathroom side from the kitchen and "lounge" side. The couch was huge and awesome and had a gigantic stool, that was just the perfect size for more jumping from Elem. And for lots of rough housing with daddy. One thing I try to take part in as much as I can, but usually just end up getting kicked or hit somewhere that really hurts. And leaves a huge bruise. So let them have their fun, let them be boys together. Ill take all the hugs and kisses. :)


**Speaking of big boy underwear :) I am happy to report that the underwear was a complete success throughout the whole trip. The whole ride there, at the hotel, at memaws, the zoo and everything, even naps were accident free. I think we had one minor accident but other than that, this boy was happy to be sportin his NEW "football game Degio un-erwears". Too cute.


We took a stroll to check out all that the hotel had to offer, and Elem was so excited. He loved being in a new place, with huge open areas to run, the swimming pool, lots of stairs, and even just being with mommy outside by the curb and a nice shade tree.


The hotel was such a success, I can not wait to do it again. It made the trip to see my parents a little less stressful because we didn't have to worry about Elem waking up other people in the house, or us trying to keep the kitty cats out of his room, and all that. Only down side, Sage couldn't stay. She is not the best hotel sleeper, unless you are in the room at all times. She does not want to be left even for one second, so she took up residency at Memaw and Papaws and spent plenty of time chasing the poor kitties. Yay for a fun hotel stay!
