02.28.10: The Longest Day

Although February is the shortest month, the last day of the month, took an eternity. Due to a generous Valentine's gift, we went to an indoor, water-park themed hotel, a seemingly idyllic getaway amidst mid-40's temps outside. And yet, if you pack a 1000+ people into an indoor pool - even if it's really big and wrapped with slides - it's still chaos. To me, a getaway has less, not more, has a calming, serene view, not a teeming pool with the water taking up less surface space than the guests.

We had a 24 hour pass, from Saturday to Sunday, and I got home on Sunday exhausted and wishing for a vacation from our little getaway. Now my 5 and 7 year old had fun, but that would have happened anyway.
