My Favorite Tradition EVER

Several years ago, Carver started asking for the two of us to go and stay in a hotel for the night. Just the two of us, for his birthday. We did it for his 7th birthday and we had the best time.

He has wanted to do it every year since then and I just hadn't made it happen. But this was a big birthday and I was determined that we would do it again this year.

Over the Christmas break, Carver and I headed out for his birthday hotel trip. We first went to check in at the hotel, then we headed to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner and playing.

On the way back to the hotel we stopped and got milkshakes at Cook-out and then we got ready to swim! The indoor pool is really the big favorite part of this whole excursion. Wearing a bathing suit in winter is most definitely not my favorite thing. But we had a great time playing in the pool.

After some swimming we headed back up to the room and we stayed up until almost midnight. Crazy, right? But this was my very favorite part of the short trip. We were watching t.v. and talking and playing on our devices and snuggling in the bed. It was the absolute perfect end to the night.

The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel and then headed home.

It was one of the best nights of my life. I hope to keep doing this with Carver, at least a few more times, and to start up this tradition with Carson.
