First Family Vacation

Hi again!
I almost forgot to blog about our first family vacation last week. Last Wednesday our A/C went out. It had been getting warmer throughout the day until it was 11 degrees off by the evening! I had called an A/C company and they said they'd be able to come to our house Thursday morning. Jon and I decided to get a room at the Holiday Inn Express in Hurst for night so that Emily would be alright. It was 8:30 pm when we finally packed up a few things and got in the car. Emily's eyes were wide and her mouth was open probably wondering what was going on. She smiled a lot in the car ride enjoying the adventure. We checked in and tried to get comfortable. Jon and I hadn't eaten dinner so we ordered a pizza. The room had a microwave and a fridge so I put all of Emily's bottles in the fridge. She had a bottle finally and dozed off to sleep. Our sleep was restless but Emily slept fine. Our room had two queen sized beds so we put her on one bed surrounded by pillows so she wouldn't roll off.

Jon left early in the morning to check on the house and wait for the repair guys. Emily slept in a little which was good for me. When she woke up I played with her and then got dressed and took her downstairs to the breakfast buffet. She had a couple of admirers in the breakfast area. She especially loved looking at the ceiling fans. I grabbed a few pieces of fruit, a muffin and some coffee creamers and we went back upstairs to wait for Jon's call.

Jon said the A/C was being fixed but wasn't sure how long it would take for it to get cool so we booked another night. That evening when he got back to our hotel room we walked to Italiannis Restaurant next door for some good food. Emily was fascinated with our dinner. I think she's beginning to show an interest in regular food now.

Jon stayed with us until midnight when he decided to go back home and check the house and get some sleep. Emily and I slept pretty well except she woke up at 4:00 wanting to play. But she fell asleep an hour later so that was good. In the morning we went downstairs to breakfast and then I checked out and we went back home to a cool house.

What an adventure! It was like being on vacation and the change of scenery was nice. Too bad we weren't in some exotic location.
