Our visit from Grambot and Great-Gramma was FAR too short this time, and it was hard to believe we really had to turn around and take them back to the airport yesterday morning. Good thing we started the day with donuts! And coffee, of course.
...we high-tailed it to New Orleans and the airport. Following a teary drop-off (especially from Grambot and James - I had to send her running so she didn't see/hear him meltdown when she left), we went into the city and checked into the fancy hotel we would have spent the whole week at, had our R&D conference not been canceled. The kids LOVED the view of the river. They squealed every time a boat went by. They could also see the train tracks and a big fountain. We went down for a closer look before dinner, but had to retreat due to icy-cold winds.
No worries, we enjoyed that fancy hotel. Room service and a movie (Cars 2, which was far less toddler-friendly than the original). And LOTS of running back and forth from the window, yelling about lights and trains and the full moon. Miraculously, we ALL slept for 10 hours straight. And our wild sleepers managed to stay on their respective beds (there was concern of floor crashing). We'll go ahead and call this hotel stay a success.
