On The Road Again...



I'm sorry about the five day absence here! We are actually in Columbia Missouri visiting with Pete while he is here (perpetually it seems) for business. After dropping off the dogs at the kennel, and surviving two flights with the kids, Nate, Jules and I arrived in Saint Louis on Saturday afternoon, where we met up with Pete (who's been here for a while already). We had the amazing opportunity to stay at one of the city's most beautiful hotels!


This was the room where we stayed....





Not a bad view, right?

But we only stayed in this room for about an hour though! With all of Pete's travels, he has earned special status at this chain of hotels! So, one little phone call later and we were upgraded to this...







20th Floor Suites! A little better view, don't you think?





Our room was one of the middle ones on the balcony level. It was Oh. So. Nice!


Despite Pete's frequent and lengthy travels, we are doing our best to recognize and be thankful for some of the great perks along the way.


We walked the streets of Saint Louis, exploring all of the sites and spending much needed time as a family all weekend. We visited the Arch, walked through many parks, commented on the architecture of many of the city's buildings, ate at wonderful restaurants, sipped on great drinks and swam in the hotel pool until we were exhausted. Pete and I also celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. It was an awesome weekend!

hooray! i *heart* nice hotels...super fun and it's so much nicer to spread out with little ones in room that's larger. looks like y'all had a great time and are taking advantage of all of the good things that go along with business travel. now you need to save up all of the ff miles and plan a super fun adults only trip somewhere exotic!

i sure hope this traveling nonsense is coming to an end soon. Not the family travel, the Pete always working in another state kind. glad you all had fun together though :) so, when are you moving to Missouri?
