A Cure for Cabin Fever

It's been a long, cold winter so far in our neck of the woods. And I don't like it one bit. I'm tired of snow. I'm tired of rain. I'm tired of cloudy, dreary days and I want to remember what the sunshine looks and feels like. In order to avoid yet another weekend of rain, cold, laundry and all around boredom, the Webb family packed up and headed south. Not south enough to be warm or anywhere near sunshine, but south enough to enjoy some quality time with Kori and Kara during Kori's cheerleading competition in Atlanta. It wasn't easy finding a hotel within walking distance, mainly because this is the largest annual sporting event in the entire country. However, we got lucky and found the Westin. The kids would say their favorite part was the indoor pool, the elevator, the view of downtown Atlanta, the fact that our hotel was round... Mommy and Daddy would no doubt disagree and say the absolutely best part is the famous Westin Heavenly mattress. Can someone tell me where to find $3700 so I can buy one of those things?! If our kids had slept past 7AM, it would have been the best nights sleep ever!

I think it worked out well that the Westin didn't have a room with double beds. Our kids have the classic "must jump on hotel bed" syndrome when given the chance.

I think they must have been saying "Going to IKEA is SOOOO much fun!!!!"

Silly Faces in the Georgia Dome for the So You Think You Can Tumble competition on Friday night.

We rode an escalator absolutely no fewer than 165 times last weekend. Luckily, Kendall didn't really notice when her pants got stuck in the escalator and Mommy almost fainted from fear.

The kids were a little disappointed that it was too cold to play in the fountains. They did, however, enjoy watching "the funny man" run through them at 9PM with all of his clothes on (luckily) while the Little Mermaid's "Under the Sea" was playing over the Centennial Olympic Park speakers.

We decided not to tell the kids that we were on our way to see Kara and Kori. We aren't great at keeping secrets, but this one was well worth it! Here, they have no clue why we're standing around doing nothing. We told them we were trying to figure out where to eat dinner! Up until this point, they thought we had travelled 3 hours to swim in the hotel pool all weekend.

Apologies for our incredible absence from the blogosphere lately. Please see all notations of dreary, boring, cold days. However, we're looking forward to blogging about Cheer Force One, Daddy's birthday and yet another snowy weekend.
