A few years ago we accompanied Ben on a work trip to Philadelphia. The hotel had a huge atrium with water and ducks and the girls got to feed the ducks. They have talked about the duck hotel ever since. Last week, just a few days before Spring Break, Ben found out he had to go to Philadelphia for a few days this week. So he booked the duck hotel and we joined him again. The girls were thrilled to not only be staying in a hotel (which is the coolest thing ever for kids) but to also get to feed the ducks again. They also loved the hotel breakfast where they could get cereal and donuts AND made-to-order pancakes and french toast.
While Ben was working, I took the kids to the Philadelphia Zoo one day. The weather turned out to be great and there weren't too many people there. We took our time wandering through the zoo and enjoying lots of animals that our zoo doesn't have (penguins, polar bears, giraffes, and flamingos to name a few).
Four hours at the zoo chasing Oliver in my condition completely wore me out. So I was happy to reunite with Ben and let the kids wear him out in the hotel pool.
Oliver was so excited to go swimming that he climbed on the table to do a dance.
You are such a turbo mom--not even being 36 weeks pregnant slows you down! I wonder if the girls will continue to talk about the duck hotel? I mean, that is pretty cool.
