Staycation 2012!

Our air conditioner has been MIA for a week and a half now. We toughed it out as long as possible but when Harris and I were not feeling well on Monday, we loaded up and came to the Marriott across the street until it was fixed. Well, it's Wednesday and we're still here. Hopefully all will be up and running tomorrow but in the meantime we're enjoying a lovely staycation.

Life is SO about perspective. It would be easy to complain about the fact we're in this small hotel room with two kids under the age of 2, but I'm totally embracing it. Why not? We've been able to snuggle with our kids all night, get creative with mealtime, play on an elevator (which for a 2 year old is amazing), hit up the swimming pool and have yummy hotel breakfast including Harris' first doughnut! There's a giant American flag outside of our window so Harris got a lesson on the flag and how to salute it in honor of Independence Day. Also, theres no housework in a hotel... Today we'll enjoy the Fourth of July celebrations around town and since we're still new to the area, it will feel like a real vacation. Instead of huffing and puffing about our seemingly inconvenient circumstances, we're making the most of it!

It's all about perspective! Happy Fourth of July!
