Two summers ago the insurance man sent us to a hotel for a week while the wood flooring man came in to repair some water damage in our kitchen. We had such a great time swimming and relaxing and being away from home that we decided to make it an annual event (the hotel, not the floor damage!).
The kids have been reminding us for a couple of months that it was time to 'go to the hotel', so this past weekend we spontaneously packed up and headed out. We only drove an hour north, but it felt like we were really getting away, and the kids spent as many hours as possible in the pool. I think they're still prune-y!
Giggles, in her seemingly unending quest for thrills and danger, loved floating upside and downside and jumping in when no one was looking. Fortunately her daddy is very attentive and she was kept out of harms' way. 
Does she look worried?
And, I know we're biased, but we think we've been blessed with the cutest baby (and daddy)ever!!!....

Great pictures and what a great idea! Glad you were able to get away for a little while without the water damage!
Phil's knee is much better. It's itching which is good, itching means healing, right? The swelling is almost down, just left with a bump and a nasty scab.
Enjoy your day!!!
Oh!!! We do that too!!! Once a year we go to the hotel. We were a little unlucky this year because while we were there we got a gasrtic bug. Can you imagine Daniel feeling sick on a sofa in the lobby?
So glad you enjoyed your break.
And yes: you do have the prettiest baby girl! (And dad in not bad either;)
Love
A couple years ago we did this without telling the girls what we were going to do. We went to a great hotel about 15 minutes from the house. We had the best time and did nothing but hang out together. I think its time to do it again.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures with us. You have such a beautiful family.
God is so Good!
What a great way to spend a little family time. I guess if you go on a weekday, you'd have the whole pool to yourselves!
Looks like you had a fun time--your baby girl looks so much like you☺
Awesome idea and it looks like everyone had a great time. The kids are just too cute!! The best part is they can mess up the hotel room and you don't have to clean it up!!
Adorable! I want to go on a vacation so bad...
We need to do this!!!!! How cool you posted about getting away for a weekend. My hubby and I had talked about doing this about 4 years ago ~ he was right beside me when I read your post, and he said 'we need to do this!' (I agreed :O)
What a wonderful time you guys have had. So pleased to see so many pictures of you all looking like you are having fun and just relaxing as a family. A great way to remember what is important. Was thinking about you all weekend, and am so glad it was everything you hoped!! Love Giggles and Bub's matching togs!! Fiona x
