Our Staycation

I thought the term "Staycation" was a ploy from the hotel industry to get more local business. But, we just had our first Staycation this weekend and had a great time! We went to the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort which is only 10 minutes away from our house but it felt like we were miles away (hence the benefit of a Staycation). Itwas nice to enjoy the resort amenities without feeling rushed to go sightstee anywhere else. When you live 10 minutes away, there isn't much to see! :)

Our resort stay was also a way to celebrate Julia's birthday with her friends. The friends stayed long enough to swim for hours and stay for dinner. The party was a great way for Julia to invite her friends from her new school as well as a few friends from her old school. They had such a good time. It was a sight to see- Chet and I with 6 little girls!After they went home, Chet and I and the girls continued the fun! (Camille stayed home with my mom which was so nice- we were able to have fun with the older 2 and not worry about the baby Thanks Mom!).

6 little fish

After the party, we took a ride on the resort's water taxi- a boat that goes through the faux canals of the desert to Rawhide. It was a nice way to end the evening. After that we crashed in our room- we were so tired! We spent this morning swimming and going down the water slide as much as we could before check-out.

This pool was so fun- you couldn't keep Chet and I off the slides either!

We might make Staycations an annual event!
