Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch

-
Michael and I took the boys down to the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch this weekend. We wanted to hear the time share presentation again to see if this would something that help us with all of our travel and to earn the 10,000 points I negotiated for attending. We also wanted a cheap vacation with a lazy river to celebrate Michael's birthday!
The Liffords met us down there on Saturday morning and we all had a splendid time! We drank lots of cocktails and slid down the fabulous water slides and got glitter tattoos and rode round and round the lazy river. We made tacos for dinner, Violet and Samuel made guacamole, we all ate cupcakes and then we went to bed ridiculously early. In the morning we managed to repeat the Saturday itinerary at the adjoining Hyatt resort for several more hours.
I like the Wild Oak Ranch. The water park is fabulous and it's not too crowded. The one bedroom condo has a full kitchen, huge bath and even a washer and dryer. Their pitch for a timeshare is actually appealing to us and we might someday sign up for it. Hyatt really has a good timeshare deal going. But we love the Lost Pines resort even more.
The best part of the trip was floating around the lazy river, watching our children have an amazing time, trusting our kids to use the buddy system and play on their own and having lots of time to talk travel, books and life with our best friends. Of course, going down the water slides with the kids was pretty fun, too.

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
