I was informed at work that I had to use my vacation time or loose it by the end of the year, for Lowe's that is the end of January. So I put in my request for a week off and started making other arrangements. I managed to get a hold of Becky and last Friday after I got off work Becky and Ryan came down to babysit my kids. I had talked with a coworker and found out his wife worked for Holiday Inn Express. Without informing me he arranged with her to get a room overnight for us. It was the first night in 10 years that we have had no kids (not counting when Elann was in labor). I can't say thank you enough to Ryan and Becky for babysitting for us we really needed the night off.
This isn't our hotel but it looks just like it. We went to a movie and dinner for those interested. We saw Paul Blart : Mall Cop a very funny movie.
