Spring Break-2009

So we usually don't go anywhere for spring break b/c Paul is busy with tulip photo shoots but he had 3 days off so the kids (esp Olivia) always want to stay in a hotel...I guess b/c we hardly ever do...it's usually easier to rent a cabin or house to fit our needs (which after this trip only confirms that thought). We went to the No. Georgia Mtns. (helen) and the kids only criteria was it have an indoor pool. They were so excited and enjoyed every aspect of hotel life. We got 2 rooms ( 1 bedroom/and a living room). I let them jump on the beds/ back and forth. They stayed up late , watched alot of tv, and ate junk food-life was good in their little world. They loved the breakfast and making their own waffles but most of all loved the pool...they swam 2-3x a day. They loved the hike...well Walker didn't. He called my mom on the hike and told her "Walker can no like the woods. We are lost in the woods. Please come get me Nana" but he ended up being a trooper. The older kids told everyone about our 'vacation' and we were staying in a hotel with a pool. Now, I had fun b/c they had fun BUT Caleb didn't adjust well to his room and cried the first nite so of course we couldn't let him cry for long and the 2nd nite he went to bed fine but then was awake from midnight -4a.m....crying, playing on the floor, laughing...it was insane! Hotel life is not for me...i disinfected everything but we met several nice people but overall crowds annoy me :D. We were exhausted that morning..and I missed my coffee...kids were tired and ready to go home...but some good memories
