Memorial Day Trip, Part 1

The Cardinals were in town for Memorial Day weekend, so we thought we would take Mallory to her first game. The game wasn't until Monday, but we arrived on Sunday afternoon to make it a mini-vacation.

I waited in the car while Tim checked in at the hotel. When he came out to get us, he was laughing.

Apparently, he was the guest of the day!

We could have gotten a free movie in our room, but our room package had already come with that.

Getting ready for the pool

Mallory looked so sweet in her new bathing suit! Isaiah has new Thomas the Train trunks. He loves them so much; he carries them around when he's not wearing them.

The water in the (indoor) pool was very, very cold. Daddy and Isaiah were the only brave ones. Mallory and I dangled our feet in and just watched.

Our hotel package also included a gift card for supper at the Big Thunder Grill. (I think that's what it was called.) Apparently, it is affiliated with The Machine Shed, which is one of my favorite places to eat.

Our room was on the second floor, with a view of the pool. Isaiah watched people swimming through the window and Mallory slept, so Tim and I were actually able to watch a movie. We chose Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood. The language in it was horrific, but it turned out to be an excellent movie. It had a strong theme, and left us thinking about it for quite a while after watching it.
