I asked my soon to be 4-year-old what she wanted for her birthday and she said "I want to go to a hotel with a pool." How very "Breakfast At Tiffany's" of you I thought. Since I love that movie and I love my daughter, I was motivated to fulfill her wish. So with a few clicks of a mouse I booked a weekend stay at the Marriott in Anaheim so we could have a long weekend at Disneyland.
What you need to know about that request is that my daughter loved, loved, loved that we stayed in a hotel room for my 40th birthday. The two of us even stayed a few extra days after daddy left just to lounge and relax at the hotel. There was food and swimming involved. When my girlfriend got married recently, the girl and I once again stayed in a hotel with a pool. We once again enjoyed food and swimming. So what her request really meant to me was that she has a good memory for a 4-year-old but boy, is her request ever my style!
For some reason, I just love hotels. I think its due to the movie "Home Alone." Note: it's on my bucket list to stay in the Plaza Hotel during Christmas one day...one day, when I have $12,000 a night to blow.
