It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

Memorial Day weekend was the getaway I've so desperately been needing...... and almost didn't get!  We had only planed to stay one night and two days. KP decided we could drive down a day earlier. That turned into one giant nightmare! The plan was to drive and stop on the way, get a room somewhere on the interstate - the problem was we got into Pensacola before we stopped. There was no rooms to be-found. We ended up having to pick from staying at ether a  HoJo or a Ramada Inn! We went with the Ramada.

There were unknown stains on the furniture! Everything felt gross and dirty. I about died when I seen Trenton not wearing his flip-flops in the room! We ate at McDonald that night and some how I managed to bust the bag full of hot fries all over the car (that we don't eat in) while checking our order! Not to mention the car that was sitting in front of us forever, smoking so bad that I feel like I need to have the whole family screened for cancer now!

We got woken up that night by the sound of a car alarm going off. I jumped out of the king size bed that we were all sharing and started screaming for Kevin to get up! I'm sure the fact that I was picturing someone from the biker bar next door breaking into the car before I went to sleep didn't help matters. Turns out it wasn't our car being stolen. We got up bright in early and went to Ihop where CeAnna finds a hair in her pancake!!! That grosses me and Trenton out so much that we had to leave and get breakfast else where!

Before you start feeling too sorry for me. The second half (the part I planed ;)...... ) turned out to be sooo good! We stayed at Orange Beach at the Perdido Beach Resort. If your ever looking for a place at Orange Beach I'd highly recommend it! We went to Adventure Island twice. Road go-carts played putt-putt golf and played games like we were little kids! Got lots of sun and rest.

It's hardly ever that things turn out as bad as that trip started. It almost felt like one of those Vacation movies. However we survived! Thats life. The sun don't always shine. But if I'm going to stay in roach hotels and eat hairy pancakes there is nobody I'd rather do it with than my family!
