Since Bill's company was picking up our transportation tab, he decided that a rental car would be the best bet for us to travel in. So, he arranged a rental car with Hertz here in McKinney. Unfortunately, no SUVs available.....I was really hoping to try out the Nissan Murano. But, anyway, we get there Thursday morning after dropping Chloe off for her vacation, and pick up our very own Cop Car!!!! No kidding, it was a white Crown Victoria! To give the car some credit, it did have very nice leather seats, a big trunk for all of our junk and a.......wait for it.........GPS!
This was Maggie's first long car ride. She's been to the school and Mickey D's with me before, but never 8 hours in a car! She was not too happy, but she wants to tell her story when she is ready, so no details!
The girls did really well on the long car ride. We even managed to not miss the dvd player from my truck!! They read, listened to their own music, played the alphabet game and drew lots of pictures. Em was the only one to take a nap. It rained a little on us along the way, but with a forecast of rain for our entire vacation, it didn't really bother us too much.
We stayed at the Holidome in Lafayette. It was really nice and had just been redecorated. The girls (and I) were mostly excited about the indoor pool and whirlpool. Okay, I was also excited about the restaurant and the fact that the girls could eat free!!
Because we were wore out from the long car ride.....why does riding in a car all day make you so super tired??.....we decided to try the hotel restaurant for dinner. It was pretty overpriced as is normal for hotels and the food not so great.....again pretty normal.
After dinner we headed to the pool. We stayed only about 30 minutes, though, as it was apparent the evening time brought out older kids and vocabulary not meant for little children! After showers and a little tv, we all headed to bed.
