Sleepless in Seattle

Months back we planned a little get-away for the May long weekend. We decided last fall when we were in Seattle for our anniversary that we definitely wanted to bring the boys because of all the fun things to do and see. So, we set forth on a little adventure for four. Oh but did we plan ahead for border line-ups? No. So we wasted a good portion of our early start sitting in traffic waiting....and waiting. Lesson learned.

But once we crossed it was smooth sailing all the way to Burlington where we had lunch and then again to Lynnwood where our hotel was. This was only the second time the kids had been in a hotel. They asked such funny questions such as.....when will they make us supper? Or....why doesn't our room have a kitchen? They quickly adjusted to hotel life though. They loved the pool and hot tub and they spent many happy hours enjoying them.

The sleepless part was that Chad who had just started a cold this past Thursday gave it to both Keith and I. It hit us Saturday afternoon and by evening we were both sneezing, coughing and generally feeling yucky. So to add to the fact we were sleeping right next to the kids who snore (Chad) and talk in their sleep all freaking night (Nate) and the fact it was a new bed, the congestion and miserable-ness prevented a good night sleep. We both felt like we got four hours or less each night. Not an restful holiday by any means!
