No Power

Our power went out Last Wednesday when I was at work.  My husband text me around 1pm it was out and he was taking the kids out to eat.  I was thankful I was at work if I'm being honest.  It is no fun to hear the kids complain there is no wifi, their batteries are dying, etc.  By the time I came home at 8:30 it was kind of fun.  All the kids were going to camp out in Brady's room with their flashlights, they were reading books and they were happy.  I snuggled up next to Hubs, read US weekly by flashlight and went to bed.  In the morning when we woke up we couldn't believe the power wasn't back on yet.  We went to Mcdonald's for breakfast with the playplace so the kids could burn off some energy.  Then we went to Mom's fave Target.  We needed some extra batteries and were trying to kill time.  We kept calling and chekcing the website with no word on how long it would be.  The power company finally said it would be days before it came back on.   I panicked!  Hubs got on the phone and booked us a hotel for the night.  Meatball for the win - Yay!

Aloft for the win!

I started packing as fast I could - our house was getting cold.  And even though I am the worst packer I didn't do too bad for only taking 15 minutes!  I should have remembered a cooler with some drinks but oh well!  We checked in around 2pm and the boys were happy.  I was happy bc I took a warm shower as soon as we got there and the hotel had Bliss spa products.  We all got dressed and went for dinner.  Texas Roadhouse was delish, the kids didn't like the rolls/butter (seriously who's children are they)  and then we went back to swim.  The kids had such a good time with our little adventure. The décor in the hotel had all my children thinking it was like minecraft!  Drinks poolside for the parents was nice.  The pool was saltwater which was good practice for our vacation - don't drink the water! And of course as soon as they jump in a child states "ew salty." We got a call from our neighbor around 7pm that the power was back on.  But we were staying put for the night.  Hotel had MTV so we got to watch Jersey Shore. Fist pump!
