Staycation 2013

As you are all likely aware, Bryon and I have been traveling ALOT this year. Traveling alot without Lauren.

So once she made us aware of this mishap, it was time to plan a "staycation".  Last weekend we packed up the Dora suitcase (including everything but clothes and jammies) and off to downtown Kansas City we went.

From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. we....

• Went to the planetarium to see the "Elmo & Big Bird Moon and Stars" show
• Dined at the train restaurant
• Toured the aquarium and held a star fish
• Played at the indoor play place
• Saw a 30 minute puppet show
• Snacked on chocolate ice cream with gummy worms on top (not the parents...we had a glass of wine)
• Checked into the hotel
• Went up and down in the elevator four times
• Jumped on the bed
• Went out for dinner
• Came back and rode the elevator
• Jumped on the bed some more
• Played hide and seek in a 220 square foot hotel room
• Watched a movie
• Read Books
• More snacks (in bed)
• Slept (as much as you can with a horizontal toddler in the middle of your king size bed)
• Went to breakfast
• And then headed home for Halloween crafts and decor

Note: If you are exhausted just reading this, then you should imagine how her parents felt.

Lauren had a ball but was ready to come home, and her parents are still recovering till the next staycation. Fun!
