A Swell Hotel

Since our kids are lightweight travelers when it comes to road trips, we actually split up our drive to Chicago and stopped at a hotel half way there. We found a real gem of a place in Madison WI that had kids suites ( a room with a separate wall and bunk beds for the kids) and an awesome pool with a shallow play area for little kids and a water slide that was just the perfect size for Teya. As soon as we got to the hotel Teya wanted her swimsuit on and we could barely contain her she was so excited to get swimming. She swam for almost two hours and then woke up the next morning and the first thing she asked for was to put on her swimsuit again.



This was Teya's first time going on a "big kid" waterslide. She did great, even the time when mommy was supposed to catch her and ended up frantically fishing her out of the water instead. (didn't realize she'd be coming down so fast!)

Daddy was much better at the catching thing.

Brinley had a lot of fun too. She crawled around in the super shallow part till her poor little knees were red. I finally had to take her back early to go to bed and she wasn't happy about leaving.

Dude I want to stay here. It seems like they have a water park at their hotel. I love the picture of Teya about to go down the slide waving at you. So cute

Okay, I think I'm going to plan a trip around that hotel. I have always thought that someone needs to design a hotel room with kids in mind, and it sounds like they did it. That pool is so awesome!
