It Sounded Like a Good Idea At The Time

**Warning... the following pictures may lead you to believe that our 38 hours in a hotel room were full of fun and sweet times shared together. Full of yummy mac and cheese...
Eating happily while watching TV...

Drawing on steamy windows....


Coloring with your sister...



Listening while your sister reads to you...




Watching TV.....


Eating breakfast in bed with your Dad while Mom takes a weird picture...



And listening while Mama reads a book....

What you do not see in these pictures is both kids crying at the same time and me telling them that neither of them are leaving their beds until they stop crying, both kids staying up 2 hours past their bedtimes rendering them both so cranky the next day that getting them to play nicely was torture, and me with a stomach ache of unknown origin.
.
In hindsight, I'm glad we went. It certainly got us out of the house but I'm not sure why I thought the cure for cabin fever was a small hotel room with 2 small children. We did have some fun and there were some really sweet moments but come Sunday morning, I was thrilled to be going home.



The mountains in Boone, NC are beautiful! The snow on the mountains made for great views while we drove home. Note to self... next time you travel to the mountains in the winter... remember your coat!
