The Grand America Hotel





Valentines is a wonderful holiday....but I am not big on it.  I've always asked Das to please not spend any money on me.  And I hate going to eat on that day.  Too long of a wait everywhere.  I'd rather spend a quiet evening at home and go out another night.  So when Das told me he had training downtown during the week, we decided to get a room.  His trainings were at the Grand America.  So we headed down Monday night to this beautiful hotel.  The room was huge!  And this was just a regular room.  One of the fanciest I have ever seen.  We had a wonderful time.
The boys had their own little room.  They took advantage of that.  They also discovered the mini bar....and I had to keep a close eye on them after that. lol
While Das went to work Tuesday, I took the boys down swimming.  They could spend hours and hours at the pool, but Logan and I just weren't feeling it.
But we stayed for a little longer.  Check out the reflection of the water on their backs.  There was also a reflection on the ceilings that they were a little weirded out by.  In order to get to this pool, you had to go through their spa, and then take an elevator to the pool.  It cost an extra ten dollars a day to go to the pool and spa.  Das took advantage of that later by heading down to the steam room.
After swimming, my sister in law, Racie came and met us for lunch.  We headed over to The Spaghetti Factory (one of our favorites) for lunch....for her Birthday.  Happy Birthday Beautiful!  She then came back to the room to keep us entertained. Or keep me entertained. Look how dang cute these two boys are.  I can't wait for them to grow up together and be the best of friends.

  We had a wonderful time all though Das had lost his voice, Logan had a crummy cough, and Tristan and Ashton were on antibiotics for ear infections.  I love my family and friends.  We hope you all enjoyed valentines day and were able to share it with the ones you love.  We love you all!
