Are we going back to the hotel? – Reid

Last weekend, we took a trip out east to spend the weekend with Reid, who is doing absolutely fantastic in school! ☺️

Over the weekend, Mr. Reid played a lot of Zelda, and we also drove to his favorite marine wildlife center, or miniature aquarium, in Lynchburg to feed the “crazy fish” at the Koi pond and check out other things like snakes, lizards, a savannah cat, and rays!

The quote above is a question that Reid asks each time we get in the car when we’re visiting and staying at the SpringHill Suites because he LOVES that hotel! Whether it’s breakfast in the morning and getting “his coffee” (a coffee cup with water) or “taking a long shower because I’ve had a long day” he thinks the hotel is the best thing ever…and I have to agree, it’s a really great location and very affordable for our trips out east! The newer SpringHill Suites also feature fixtures and furniture from West Elm’s hotel collection, so they’re well-appointed and well-designed if you’re looking for a place that doesn’t feel dated…at least not yet!

Overall, it was a great time — special shout out to Monika for picking up first class seats on the way back, though…that 6 hour flight with headwinds back to Seattle would have been exceedingly worse had she not bumped us up!
