Gift #105- Take Out in a Hotel


The Thomas Kids LOVE staying in a hotel.  Especially if the hotel has a pool.  We don't have to go to Disney World or Legoland to have a fun vacation.  All we have to do is pack up and drive 5 miles to the nearest Holiday Inn and they are completely content.  We are here in Okinawa for the week staying on a beautiful Air Force base.  The pool is within walking distance and we have cable tv (we don't have cable in Iwakuni).  The kids are in heaven.  Last night we picked up chicken nuggets and fries for dinner.  A hotel room, chicken nuggets and fries, and Cartoon Network- does life get any better?  I think not.  Hank and I love seeing them so happy, but the hotel room does get small after a day or two.  When Josh was little, he called hotels "heltels".  Hank and I thought that was a very appropriate name and for years we have affectionately referred to them as such.  :0)  As I type, the kids are watching Cartoon Network and eating leftover fries for breakfast.  It is going to be a good day!
