We went all way to Salt Lake this Larbor Day. Kyle had enough traveler points that we didn't have to pay for our room. We left Saturday for the zoo, it was great! Then we went to check in our hotel. HOLY DUMP! The carpet had bark chips on the floor! They didn't even brother to vacuum. Which made the rest of the room feel dirty. We went to the Mayan for dinner, which we don't think we'll go back again. The only thing we really liked there was the cheese cake, and they changed it. The next morning we checked out, free room or not, it was crap. So we went to the Hampton Inn, sooo much better. We went swimming in the pool and then went back to our CLEAN room and took a 3 hour nap, it was wonderful. After we went to Gateway, neither Gavin or Kiwi would play in the fountain. We went to Clark Planetarium, which was not as good as we remembered, and saw an under the water 3D movie, which was terrific. The water snakes swam at us, and Kiwi was dodging them. She and Gavin both tried to catch the fish, and pet the sea lion. Gavin of course knew better, but Kiwi was getting fraustrated, way cute. Monday we drove up to park city, took one look at the crowds, and decided it wasn't worth it, since the kids didn't have a nap. It was a great weekend, and just far enough from home, that we felt like we went somewhere, and close enough to say, "If you guys can't get along, we'll just go home, it's up to you."

So fun!! I want to do more stay- cations. It is always nice to threaten that you will just go home and actually have that option. Sounds fun!! Much needed time away from home :)
That's great you could get away for the weekend. Sounds fun, other than the crappy room. Where did you stay the first night, so we don't make the same mistake? Gotta love hotel points. :)
What fun!! Such cute pictures too!
We stayed at the Quality Inn Airport on Redwood Rd.
