Mini-Vacation

Our mini-vacation was so much fun!  The best part was it was only 20 minutes away.  First, we checked into our hotel, Cambria Suites in the Meadowlands.  Joy loved the beds and all the pillows.

Paul settled down to work at the desk, writing his "packing lists," just like mommy.

Then we went bowling at the casino.  Paul loves bowling and dancing around on the slippery floor.  Joy liked climbing all over anything and everything.  

As usual, she would not leave her shoes on!

Then, we went back to the hotel to order room service.  Paul and joy enjoyed chocolate milks at the bar.  The staff people were very kind to the kids.  

Then it was time for feasting!  The food was fabulous.  Our favorites were the pretzel lollipops with fondue dip. 

Then it was pool time.  Both kids had a blast.  They kept going back and forth from the pool to the hot tub.  The loved climbing on the steps and swimming with daddy.

Paul liked standing on the sink to brush his teeth.

In the morning we went had breakfast in the restaurant and then swam again before we came home.  Both kids were awfully tired after the festivities.  Joy took a 2 hour nap!  Then Camille came and watched the kids while Shawn and I took a hike on this blustery day.
