Not sick, On Vacation!!

On Friday, Henry woke up feeling kind of sick...running nose and crabby, probably achy too. So, after a long day of sightseeing he crashed in his hotel bed at 4:30pm. We tried to wake him at 6pm thinking we could just go to the restaurant downstairs but he wanted nothing to do with opening his eyes. Daddy, Charlie, and Grandma & Grandpa decided to head downstairs to hang out at the manager's reception while Momma tried to convince Henry to get out of bed. 

Daddy texted to say there was a clown downstairs and we should come down...Henry agreed if he could put his "comfys" on...so Momma wasted no time with fear Henry would change his mind (and he did but was glad that he stayed downstairs after getting a turn with Jingles the Clown)!!

 Henry decided he wasn't up for face paint so just a little swirly swirl on his arm please...

 

Blue to match his shirt and when asked if he liked glitter well of course he does...poor Daddy (he dislikes glitter very much so and he was holding Henry)

Since Henry didn't get an elaborate face painting done, he got to chose Spiderman for his balloon!! 

 

 Nothing like a balloon to make you feel just a little bit better!

 

Spiderman Spiderman does whatever a spider can...

 

  

Spins a wed, any size. Catches bad guys just like flies.

 

And yes, we brought Spiderman home with us...

Weekend Away

I have been away from the blog for a few days and now I am once again behind...it was nice not to get online while "on vacation" (I must admit) although I would have loved to share our trip as it happened...now I need to sort through 300+ pics before sharing them...so please bear with me! I have decided to blog about our trip and then back track with a few posts of activities that happened just before we left...

Daddy was lucky enough to get Friday and half of Thursday off (vacation time is hard to come by with the workload and lack of people right now @ the Clinic). The boys and I picked Daddy up at work just before noon and we were on the road shortly after...on our way to Albuquerque...we have been there once before for the balloon festival however we didn't get a chance to see any other sites. So, we were pretty excited to have two full days to enjoy the Albuquerque's Zoo and Aquarium and ride the tram up The Sandia Mountains.

We met G&G Baldwin there and stayed at the Embassy downtown...very cool! Although the trip from Clovis to Albuquerque only takes 3.5-4 hrs, the boys were ready to be out of the car by the time we arrived. When we pointed out the hotel to Henry all he could say was "OH WOW!" It definitely met his standards and we hadn't even stepped inside yet!

We rode the elevator up to the fifth floor and were pleasantly surprised to find what our room had to offer...

Henry and Charlie loved to watch each and every time we rode the elevator (and of course press the buttons).

Our view of the city...

More from our giant picture window...

Of course Henry had to try out the beds...

Loving the view...pointing out all of the cars.

Enjoying a little time running around the room...

Once we were settled in our rooms, we decided on P.F. CHANG's for dinner. Both boys enjoyed their dinners and desserts and of course CHOPSTICKS!

Outside P.F. Chang's

What better way to end the day than to toss a few coins into the fountain...
