Sometimes you really do....

Get what you pay for!

A few weeks ago, we took advantage of a rare day off during the busy WTI season for Jeremy. On the spur of the moment, we decided to visit the San Diego Zoo. We pricelined a hotel, packed our bags, threw them in the car and headed west.

Just a couple hours later, we were checking into our ultra-modern hotel before heading to The Old Spaghetti Factory for some yummy pasta. Imagine our (ok, MY) shock to find this in our room:

That's right! It's an all inclusive room! It includes a top of the line bathroom, complete with modern fixtures, super soft towels and robes, the best smelling soaps money can buy and.... no... gulp...walls! If you have spent more than 5 minutes around me, you know that I am an intensely PRIVATE person and believe that there are just some things that we don't share. This particular hotel room violated every rule I've held dear.

In this view, I'm standing in the bedroom photographing the children in the bathroom.

And you know we have to be dorks about it... The children mocking their Daddy....

And my personal favorite, it's like layers of Beavens... Jeremy and Marshall in the shower, Abby on the other side and Amelia who is much too mature to continue these shenanigans for any longer enjoying a book on the bed.

The bathroom even had it's own set of speakers playing whatever was on the TV. Pretty cool, especially since you could SEE the tv from the bathroom. Cool, that is, unless you are trying to quickly shower yourself and a 5 year old while her dad takes stuff out to a car and she is so consumed with watching Curious George that she can't pay attention to what's going on. :)

Next time I'll be sure to specify that I'd like a bathroom... with walls.
