Anniversary Celebration

Every year, we celebrate our anniversary by spending a couple of days away from home and spending the night in a local hotel. So this past Saturday, we started the day by going to the train exhibit at NorthPark. Eli LOVED it!!! We also spent time looking at all the other Christmas attractions that are on display at NorthPark. Then we headed to our hotel, The Adolphus. Eli was so excited to stay in a hotel....he loves them!! : ) We had a nice dinner at Landry's...we can't go anywhere too outrageous with 2 little ones. We really enjoyed it and so did Eli! On Sunday, we had our traditional eggs benedict at Eatzie's and then spent some time at White Rock Lake. It was such a wonderful weekend!


This was part of the train exhibit....Eli saw it and said...."Look! That's where Chase lives."

Having some fun at NorthPark...I remember playing on these when I was a kid!


I forgot to bring snacks for Eli so he raided the super expensive in-room snack bar a couple of times. This was his morning snack....a $4 can of chips. : )



The Adolphus has a HUGE, beautiful Christmas tree in the lobby.

oh, what a fun tradition! our family used to do the same thing - we'd stay in a hotel just for fun, even if it was only a few miles from home! fun times. :)
