Hotel Swimming Getaway

This past Friday we took a spur of the moment overnight getaway to a hotel in The Dalles so that we could get out of the house and let the kiddos have some swim time. Sometimes you just need to pack a bag and go do something!

The kiddos were very excited to learn we were going to stay the night in a hotel. Who doesn't like to stay in a hotel? Especially one that has a pool. Of course, the second we got into the room and unpacked, we headed to the pool.  It was sooooo nice. It had been awhile since the kids got to swim in an actual pool. Usually its only in a lake while we are camping. 

After our first swim, we decided on dinner right there at the restaurant in the hotel. Burgers and clam chowder all around! 

  

After dinner and taking a breather in the hotel room, we headed back to the pool! That's why we were at the hotel, after all. Papa and I didn't swim this go-around though. We watched the kids swim while relaxing in the pool side loungers. 

That evening, after our night time swim, we all snuggled on the bed and watched a few hours of the Olympics. 

  

Rise and shine! Can you guess what we did before checkout? Hahahaha swim!! I didn't feel up for a morning swim, but Papa and the kiddos took a dip. 

 

 

  

 

Afterwards, we chilled out in the hotel room and got ourselves ready for the day. We grabbed a sack breakfast from the hotel restaurant and then headed out to do some shopping, random errands, and stopping in for lunch/dinner at one of our favorite places to eat, Spooky's. 

It might not have been a long or extravagant outing, but just getting out of the house for one night was really nice. I got to chill in a hotel, everyone got to swim, and we got a break from chores. Win! 

With love,
