Quick Family Getaway

We spent part of our Labor Day weekend in Glen Rose, TX. A church family owns a hotel there, so we made that our destination. We left Sunday afternoon and stayed one night. We didn't have much planned besides relax and swim. It was a quick 2-hour drive. 

The girls love staying at a hotel. What kid doesn't? Kyle was only 6 months old the last time he stayed in a hotel. We had a view of the swimming pool from our room. The kids loved looking down at the pool (the pool had streams of water shooting over it). 

The picture below of the girls reminds me of a photo I have of my sister and I on the window sill. We were only toddlers and my mom would put us on the sill to get us up off the floor while she was vacuuming. She said we were so scared we wouldn't move a muscle. Parenting in the 70's! 


We swam a little bit after dinner the first night. We had dinner at a Mexican restaurant and the poor/lack of service left us little time to go swimming afterwards. The next day after breakfast, we had to painfully wait an hour for the pool to open. The girls could not wait! We swam for about three hours and had the pool to ourselves most of the time. We grabbed lunch on the way out and headed back home.
