Jon's company gave everyone a 1,000 gift certificate to a travel agency. Our kids are pretty little still so instead of doing a big trip we've divided it into 4 smaller trips.
For dinner that night we went to the hotel’s restaurant, The Garden Café. I had called and made a reservation, which happened to be completely unnecessary, but I did let them know we had two little kids. The table they gave us was the most visible table in the entire restaurant, which would have been fine if Lola wasn’t there. She started “mixing” her glass of water with a fork and then promptly spilled it on her menu. They brought her a child proof cup at my request and she still managed to spill milk on multiple occasions. At one point she stood up and sang “Follow, follow me” while demanding us to dance with her. She was a riot and at times well behaved. We kept getting a lot of special smiles.
At bedtime we did our normal bedtime routine and as we were putting Lola down she said she wanted to go home and see her Grammy and Morning. This was the beginning of a very long night. At 10:46 she was still wide awake so Jon went and got her and brought her into our bed. She kept getting on the hotel phone and saying “Hello! Hello!” A few minutes later she puckered up and gave Jon a big fat kiss. Immediately after the kiss she made spitting noises and said “Yucky Kiss!” At 11:00 she was “doing” my hair and saying over and over again “pretty hair.” So after a short stint in our bed she was moved once again to the pack ‘n play.
The next day we ordered breakfast in and then went to the pool. Lola and I went in the changing room to put on her swim diaper. When we came out Jon and Ryder were already in the pool. Lola promptly kicked off her bottoms and tried to go in after them. I’m still not sure why she thought that was the right choice, but I explained to her those stay on when we swim and she didn’t try to take them off again. All in all it was a great happy weekend for our family.
