All in all it was a relaxing and very fun vacation. I think the kids had a blast and we had fun just watching them have fun. I did some research on fun stuff for kids before we left so I had a good idea of how to plan our day around activities and the kid's naps. We also ordered room service for breakfast each morning so we wouldn't have to rush around getting ready to go get the kids some breakfast. (in the old days we probably would just skip breakfast altogether.)
As you can imagine, we took tons of pictures and videos. I'll post them over the next few days with the various activities. These are just a few of the kids in the hotel room. They LOVED the hotel room. The just walked/ran back and forth exploring each corner, nook and cranny of the room. I got them a few new toys as well as some of their favorite toys to play with to help keep them occupied but they didn't really need them. The room provided enough entertainment. Who would have thought the shampoo bottles and bar of soap in a box could be so much fun?? They had the most fun running their cars over the bathroom floor and tub.
The hardest part was sleeping at night. The hotel had portable cribs, which were basically pack-n-plays. I brought all their stuffed animals and blankets but I think the fact that we were right there next to them was just too tempting. We have never really slept with the kids in our bed so it wasn't the most comfortable for any of us. But luckily we had a king size bed so we all had room to sleep. The second night was better...but they were still in our bed by 5:30am. Oh well, we're on vacation! One good thing was the heavy black-out curtains in the room kept the room super dark so the kids slept in pretty late.
I was trying to slip out of bed while Young was taking this picture...And let's not forget how fun bath time was in a new tub...who needs bath toys when you have paper cups and new shiny fixtures to play with!
