The big weekend away

So this past weekend we went to visit some friends. We had planned this visit for weeks (maybe even months)--schedules, nap times, etc--we finally had a date and we all looking forward to catching up. We headed out after Melina's Halloween party and got to the hotel a couple hours later. Melina decided there was no way she was going to nap since there was so much to do in the hotel room (climbing in and out of the closet door was her favorite) so she and I headed to the pool while Bill worked. I had a great dinner with friends and Bill and Mel had a date night and then went shopping.

All seemed fine when I got back to the hotel about 11:30pm. Bill was watching a movie and Melina was sound asleep. Not sure what happened but about 1am Mel woke up. At first she just wanted to use the potty. Fine. Well then she wouldn't go back to sleep. She used the potty excuse several more times so we let her go sit on the potty---what are you going to do, tell her no? Anyway, it was just downhill from there. She was up all night, extremely hyper. She wanted to play, scream, cry, anything but sleep. I think she woke up the entire floor. At about 4:30am I had had it and wanted to pack up and drive home. Bill convinced me it was a bad idea and we stuck it out with her for another couple of hours. By 7, we were out of there and let me just say it was not a pretty sight. Driving home after being up all night, all Sunday plans of having breakfast, going to the park by the hotel and spending the day with our friends at the kids museum down there gone, I swore it was the end of travel for us. All future trips were going to be cancelled.

Well after a nap I regained some perspective and decided it would be silly to cancel trips, we didn't buy the travel insurance anyway! We only have two booked right now anyway (KY and Cabo), and even though I know we are going to CH next summer I think I will hold off on booking tickets for a while.

All was not lost, since we were home we did go to the p'patch yesterday afternoon and Mel picked out her pumpkin.

You would never know this kid was up all night!

Ok, starting to look a little tired
