For the much more humorous version of our trip please visit my sister's blog. I will give the facts because for some reason she was blessed with the writing skills in our family. A few years ago we started the tradition of going to Shreveport on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving to spend the night and go shopping on the Boardwalk. We were really excited about our trip this year because we would be getting to see Kherington. I even had the privilege of keeping her that night along with my mom. Lets just say that Tuesday night pretty much confirmed me being satisfied with two kids. Kherington was a doll and only cried when she was hungry, but being in a room alone with a 2 month old, a 2 year old and a 4 year old was all I needed to make me sure I was done having kids. There are only so many things you can do to entertain children while staying in a hotel. We watched movies, built tents, colored and ate snacks and for some reason the girls were still wide awake at midnight. I knew that was going to make for an interesting day of shopping. We got up Wednesday morning and ordered room service for breakfast. You can't beat getting to wake up, stay in your pj's and eat a fabulous breakfast. While mom was checking out the girls had to ride the escalator several times. I think next summer for vacation we will just stay in a hotel that has one and depend on that for entertainment. Just as we were getting into the car to leave we got both girls buckled in their car seats and they BOTH announce that they need to go to the bathroom. Are you kidding me? We just stood in the lobby right by the bathroom for 15 minutes and you wait until we have gone down the elevator, walked through the hotel, through the parking garage and get buckled in before you tell me that. After a quick bathroom break we are ready to go. We had a great day shopping at the Boardwalk. I found a huge sale at the Osh Kosh store and got both of the girls' Christmas dresses. I also found a pair of black boots that I had been looking for. To top it all off we got to have lunch at Saltgrass and the girls got to ride the Merry go Round. I'm glad that we have started a new tradition that we can look forward to each year.
