babymoon

michael's parents came to town yesterday 

and agreed to watch our kiddies over night so we could go on a babymoon

we realized now was our chance and we'd better take it

we stayed in the peery hotel in downtown salt lake

it is over 100 years old

 here we are in the lobby

this is in the lobby, too

 here's our room

sweet bed canopy

our bathroom was pretty sweet 

other than only having hot water...and not cold

so flushing the toilet was tricky and we couldn't shower without burning ourselves

the front desk said...sorry...

oh well, we liked it anyway

we got ready to go out on the town and took a picture in our room's mirror

 we had dinner at the cheesecake factory

and while we waited for our table we shopped for our new little baby boy

i'd been saving my pennies (hair money) and we got lots of cute things

isn't this guy the cutest?

after dinner and shopping we stopped for slurpees on the way back to our hotel

then we had a nice kid free night's sleep 

i wish i'd slept in more but the baby on my bladder wouldn't allow it

kids! (kidding)

then we got up and packed up 

and headed out to breakfast

i brought cards and we played while we drank hot chocolate and waited for our food

going out to eat without kids is sooo much more relaxing!

and extra fun with this guy

it was so nice to have a night (and morning) without kids

and celebrate this new little one on the way

thank you to michael's parents who not only took excellent care of our kids,

but spoiled them rotten with games at chuck-e-cheese, dinner at mcdonalds and new little toys

the kids are probably disappointed we didn't stay away longer :) 

ps..if you're interested
