It's official. We're all grown up now. The Hammsters went on their very first- post baby staying in a hotel-vacation! It was a mini vacation, but that was all the time we had AND we were very concerned about staying in a hotel in one room with Nate. Certain things like "if Nate goes to bed at 8:15 normally, what will we do after that?" "Can we watch tv while Nate sleeps in the same room or will he wake up?" "Nate naps for 3 hours in the afternoon, do we just sit in the room and stare at each other?"
Some friends of mine and Mike's step-sister live in Atlanta and some other friends were going to be coming there at the end of July, so we decided to take the plunge and try it!
One of my friends got us a GREAT rate at a GREAT hotel in Atlanta and it was sooooo pretty! Indoor/outdoor pool and all that. Which we did end up "enjoying". I use that term loosely because even though Atlanta was true to it's nickname and was HOTlanta, the water was pumped in from Antartica. Maybe this was one of the fancy perks of a nice hotel? It was freezing! We still played in the water, but Brrr!
On Friday we took Nate to the Children's Museum and he had a BLAST! There was so much for him to do there. I really wish we had something this cool near us.

The water tables were so cute. They had all kind of magnetic fish and toys in the water for the kids to "fish" for. Nate also looked really cute in the raincoat they provided. Look how serious he looks about fishing...
The train tables were a big hit! The sharing trains with other kids, not so much.
Nate painting his masterpiece. How much do you think this might go for?
All the fun of playing in the sand without that pesky sand beneath your toes!
Awww, look at my little frantic shopper! Get out of my way folks, Huggies are on SALE!
I'll post more pictures from our adventures in Atlanta later this week...

And we all know how Nate would feel about sand between his toes!! You made a big deal about worrying how things would go while Nate was asleep - then you didn't tell us. Not fair to keep so many people hanging like that!
Blue light special, isle 4, chicken nuggets...Nate races off with his shopping cart.
