Downtown adventure



We decided it would be a fun treat to take the kids downtown and stay in a hotel before Christmas.  Last year we went to Hawaii over Christmas and stayed in a nice hotel the weekend before Christmas.  This was such a memorable experience last year we wanted so bad to try to recreate the memories.  We choose the Hyatt and boy was it fun!

We started our adventure by walking around and seeing all the Christmas displays downtown after about an hour the kids were all ready to go back and have some lunch and swim.

L wanted only to be in the hot tub I think she liked that she could reach.


                                  K is my little mermaid she is under water more than above.

This sad face was the story of J every time I attempted a picture.  I am pretty sure by this point he
     had lost several privileges.  Oh the joys of parenting.
 

L my little gymnast, this was in our 1st room on the 5th floor.  We had two rooms booked that adjoined but we were waiting for the other one to be ready.  We ended up being moved to the 14th floor due to
                   a hotel issue and they gave us our second room free with 4 free breakfasts, which rocked!



We took the kids to our favorite restaurant downtown, Palominos.  It was fun for them to see where we like to go out on dates.
 
We ran outside right when dinner was over to see Santa repel from the Macy's building.




Enjoying the doughnuts that we got from Palomino's to go.  They dipped them chocolate, yummy!  We then went back to the hotel to watch a movie.  The kids didn't fall asleep till 11, way past their bedtime.  They at first didn't like all the sirens but later felt comforted by them because they thought the wind blowing sounded like a wolf and the police could keep them safe.

Good morning girls!  The girls loved looking at the city so much to see.

Our free and very cold carriage ride.



Our last adventure of the trip was to take the trolley around town.  What good trip, thanks kids for all the memories.
