Washington-Part 1


So I finally got the trip information from Josh’s work laptop, and as promised, will give you all the good details about vacation!
The first day after a ridiculously loooong road trip-ten hours to be exact-we made it! However, right away we realized we goofed. We opted to drive to save the extra it would take us to fly; however, once we arrived we realized our hotel charges $35 a night to park, and there are no other overnight options anywhere in the vicinity of us. So as it turns out, we could have flown for the same price. Shucks. Once we parked the car in front of valet, our bags were unloaded by a very nice gentleman and loaded onto one of the pretty silver carts. I’ve never stayed anywhere long enough to need a cart, so I was quite excited about that. The hotel that we are staying in is incredibly modern but very beautiful and relaxing. Nothing in our house is ultra-modern so it seemed appropriate to escape from reality with a totally different setting than we’re used to. I was blown away when I walked into our room and saw this:

We sure made the right decision for a hotel! (obviously since it didn’t take us long to get comfortable…) You can see it in the picture, but there is a leather canopy that our bed sits in that stretches the entire length of the room. There are lights inside of the canopy as well as behind it, so you can adjust them to whatever is comfortable. The shower is a walk – in, and doesn’t have a door at all. It’s a tube that you can see from the bed. It’s completely private and although it looks as if you would be able to see someone while they were in, that isn’t the case at all. Here is a picture of the outside of the shower:
No sight-seeing today. We’re exhausted from the trip and are just having a quiet night of resting in preparation for a busy, busy week.
