Our hotel "Stay-cation"

In December, we had plans to go to a hotel in Schaumburg for the weekend before Christmas. Despite losing Nana the week before, we still went, because she would have wanted Gavin to be able to go.

Gavin LOVES to stay in a hotel, because he loves the pool and loves to sleep in bed with me. And Auntie Clare travels so much that she was able to redeem hotel points and get us a beautiful room at Embassy Suites.

In the pool with Auntie Clare Friday night:

Gavin beat both me and Francis soundly at Battleship:

On Saturday, the Florys came over to hang out with us. We swam in the pool - here are Gavin and Annie:

And Mark and Tim:

We opened Christmas presents with them:

And went to Legoland Discovery Center:

 We all had a great time. Maybe we'll go back next year for a repeat!!
