Sneaking Away to the Hotel

At the beginning of this last week, Rob reminded me that he had a conference in Anaheim on Thursday and Friday and suggested that maybe the girls and I go with him. So, I spontaneously decided that Grace, Sarah and I would tag along. I used to do that sort of thing with Hannah whenever I got the chance since things were so crazy at our house when the twins were really little. It was good for her and good for me too. This time I decided it was Grace and Sarah's turn. Hannah stayed home with her buddies so she didn't have to miss school and Grace, Sarah, Daddy and I were off to the hotel.

Grace and Sarah get very excited about staying in a hotel. There's something about riding an elevator (and pushing all the buttons), swimming in a hotel pool and sleeping in a hotel bed that is very exciting to them. The hotel was about a mile from Disneyland, but I managed to resist the temptation to make a spontaneous (and very expensive) trip to the Magic Kingdom. Instead we went to Downtown Disney for Christmas shopping and Build-a-Bear building. It was fun to spend some special time with them.
