Getaway

Melanie and Milo graciously offered to come over and watch our kids last weekend so we could have a getaway in celebration of our 10 yr wedding anniversary. It was very nice of them and the kids did good so we were happy about that. We didn't want to travel too far because of limited time and we planned it last minute. We ended up just going to a nice hotel not far from our house. It was a new hotel so that made me feel good (I had a patient not too long ago tell me that they are finding more bed bugs especially in hotels/motels behind the head boards! ewwww!!!). It was a modern swanky hotel and it had a continental breakfast, which was also fancy.

The first night we went to the temple and out to a thai restaurant. Then we slept in the next morning and went shopping, got a quick bite to eat and then went to a movie. We saw Date Night which was funny, but then at the end they had to mess it up with a dumb strip club scene. Not cool. We ended up going out to a mexican restaurant for dinner and then walked around an outdoor shopping area. We went to this game store where they had all these cool games that you can't find in regular stores. It was fun to look around. There was a pokemon tournament going on so it was a busy place.

Kyle chillin' in the chair that was not comfortable!

Our swanky continental breakfast with scrambled eggs, pan fried potatoes with peppers and onions, sausage or bacon, pancakes, toast, muffins, cereal, yogurt, juice, milk and if you wanted you could even get a made to order omelette from the standby chef. It was good!

We came home with more goodies for the kids than for us! We found some good deals on our shopping trip. Preston got some new sunglasses for him. He didn't like wearing any last year so maybe this year he will.

We brought home a travel size game of Perfection for the kids. They both like to do puzzles so we thought it would be the perfect game for them. Plus it has the element of surprise when the timer runs out and it pops up. They would laugh and thought it was so funny. Preston likes to do it just to have it pop up on him. ha ha.

Melanie and Milo even took all the kids to the zoo on Saturday! They were quite the troopers with 6 kids all at once. Thank you SO much for coming over to visit and being willing to watch our kids for us! You guys are TOO nice. :)
