This weekend we decided to go to Nauvoo on Friday and stay over night so we could go to the temple on Saturday. After Tony got home from work we headed out (in a snow storm, or as Tony called it "snow flurries"). Although I almost wet my pants/cried in the scary drive there, we made it safely to our hotel/"villa". It was so cool! It had two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen! We loved staying there and will for sure do it again!
Emma chilling on the chair when we first got there
Liam and Fox enthralled in the t.v.
While there Emma checked the place out and ran in to tell me, "Mom! We even have our new bathtub!!" So of course we had to take a picture by our new bathtub.
(this part makes me crack up)
This is Liam's bed. Its a small twin bed in the corner. (What?! That's where he chose to sleep)
And here's where Emma chose to sleep. A giant king sized bed all to herself.
She was a wee bit excited about the whole ordeal. :)
And this kid didn't ever want to go to bed, but eventually he did and he slept on the floor. (PS, I need a port-a-crib if anyone wants to donate one to me ;))
We had a great night and morning. Then Saturday afternoon we spent going to the temple, learning how to make bricks, rugs, candles, and ropes, eating gingerbread men, and driving around the historic part of Nauvoo. It was a very relaxing fun weekend. Something that I definitely needed :)

Sounds like a sweet adventure! I'd love having a King size bed all to myself too. :)
The kids looked like they loved your mini vacation! Emma cracks me up that she was so excited about the tub :) Liam must be a no-frills kind of guy - happy with just a regular size bed. I think that is so cool that those rooms are available for such a great price!
