Winter Vacation

I'm a week late on this vacation update- Here's what 4 kids look like after taking "the scenic route" (which took about 2 hours longer than taking the Mass Pike- but we loved it anyway Daddy!!) to Rome NY to eat dinner at Denny's. I know, Denny's would not have been our top pick, but when you're in Rome NY, you eat what you find! Lately, we cannot get Brayden to smile for a picture. He always pulls a weird face, so when we teased him about it- this is what happens... He's got a great smile!
All the kids wanted to do was swim in the hotel's indoor pool-
The entire family Monday night-

The kids and I Tuesday morning (for 3 hours while Adam was working)- The kids love to make bubble beards in the hot tub. I remember those days. I used to annoy my sister to no end with my bubble antics!
Again Tuesday night (with Daddy only- I stayed poolside reading a book!) and Wednesday night at our hotel in Buffalo, NY-

AND THE BIGGEST AND BEST THING TO COME OUT OF THE TRIP-
And
So cute!

Other highlights include-
Chair Beds-

A visit to Fort Stanwix National Monument

Watching Old Looney Toons Cartoons from the front row of the Mezzanine of the Capitol Theatre in downtown Rome-

Dinner at Jim's Steakhouse, which had a huge cow statue out front and this old carosel in the bar (very random)

And finally, what could be better than Niagara Falls in the winter?



If you ask my kids, they'll tell you the hotel's indoor pool is much better!
