Last month when we visited my mother on
Long Island we stayed in a hotel. My brother and his family had
flown in from California and were staying at my mother's house so there wasn't enough room for the 4 of us.
Kellen thought this hotel was the greatest thing in the whole world.
It had a microwave, a fridge, and a TV you could watch from bed! In
reality, it was the cheapest hotel we could find within 20 miles from
her house. And it smelled like it.
Casper, WY was our first hotel stop on
the trip. We didn't make it to Casper in time for diner, so we
stopped at a place called The Depot in Douglas, WY. Bella chose to
eat in the front patio so she could run off some of her energy. We
drank some local beers from the Grand Teton Brewing Company
(http://www.grandtetonbrewing.com/ourbeers.html) with our dinner. I had an Old
Faithful ale and my dad had a Teton ale. We were both happy with our
decisions. So much so that dad bought a 6-pack of Bitch Creek later
in the week.
We finished the day with a one hour
drive to the hotel. Kristin had booked us in a suite and we were looking forward to sleeping in for a change. They handed us the keys, two for room 310A and two for 310B. The
suite turned out to be 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchenette.
Kellen slept alone in a queen sized bed in his private room, Bella
slept in the living room on a queen sized sofa bed, and Kristin and I
had our own room with a queen sized bed. Plus we had 3 TV's, 2
microwaves, and a fridge. All this was cheaper than the hotel in NY,
and it smelled much better. Kellen said “I didn't think we could
afford to stay in a luxury hotel. Well, you can, when you live in
the Suite Life of Kristin and Greg. If only someone would have done our laundry for us the next day. Oh well, I guess we are not that rich.
Suite!
