Brought to you by the letter ...
L is for Love, Laugh, Little Ones, and Leave....as in I'm on leave...or if it were V week...vacation.
Since I no longer live close to my California grandkids, I take them to a hotel for a sleepover. This is the third time going to the local Fairfield Inn.
They get settled in and watch a bit of TV, and play on the beds...with Crusty and PJB.
Beauty showed Little One the view from our room's window. Ummm, yeah, it looks like Little One is going commando!
We went out dinner at Carl's Junior because it was next door....then we headed for the swimming pool.
Andrew, who, by the way is nine years old today.....is quite a good swimmer, and has so many ribbons and metals from competing.
Beauty is a competitive fish in her own right. I love watching then glide through the water.
Little One is loving the water too.....a little more practice and she should be on her way to a spot on the Ladera Liquids too.
A favorite at the Fairfield Inn is the breakfast buffet. Andrew made blueberry waffles. Beauty had raisin bran, chocolate donut and orange juice. Little One had Cheerios, chocolate donut, banana, and orange juice.
Then we packed up and headed home....I love these memories!
stop by and see more letter L posts at A to Z Monday.
