A Few Fries Short

This hotel ROCKS!   This is where we have been living since the pipe burst.  I think we are going to be here at least 2 more weeks.  I haven’t ever really stayed at a Hilton hotel before and I have been very impressed, not only with the hotel itself, but especially with the employees here.  Our room is about as comfortable as could be, for not being able to be at home.  Here is the link to see our room and view pictures of it.  (OUR ROOM! Although it is not actually our room, it is the same suite that we have)

I will actually miss this place when we have to go home. 

I took my family to see Dora the Explorer live onstage Wednesday night. The tickets were about $28 each. A Boots stuffed animal was $15 and a stuffed rescue pack was $20. Small bottles of water were $2. I knew it was going to be expensive, but since it was for the kids, I sucked it up. I wasn’t even upset until Thursday morning when my son was watching Dora and the episode he was watching was the SAME EXACT SHOW we saw onstage! I think if you are going to put on a show, don’t just cannibalize the series! I want original content! I could have saved over $150 and just watched the episode on TV. Unlike last year when we took the kids to see Thomas the Tank Engine live onstage, Dora left a bad taste in my mouth!
