Michigan, Day 2

Good things about our current MEA excursion
  • Because we're in need of a new mattress at home, hotel beds often offer me a superior sleeping experience to that of my own bed.  Weird, huh?  The room darkening curtains don't hurt either. 
  • I got to enjoy a sit down breakfast with both my kids.  That practically never happens in real life.  
  • My kids are currently playing in the hotel pool, like two moderately tame and housebroken creatures who don't hate one another.  Also highly unusual in real life.


Less good things

  • The waterpark, as well as the arcade, we usually enjoy while on these trips is closed for maintenance.  
  • The corn maze that was to be a substitute for the water park doesn't open until 6pm this evening.  'Cause the 'M' in MEA doesn't stand for Michigan.  
  • This is a working 'vacation' for my parenting partner in crime.  He's been on a call all morning and will remain online for at least another hour.  This is not exactly a complaint.  He works hard and the fruits of those labors afford us the privilege of being able to take this trip (and lots of others).  Which is impressive, if you factor in that I am not a wage earning member of society.  But still kind of a bummer.
Really poopy things

  • In about an hour and a half, we'll all shower and start getting ready for the real reason we're here:  to visit Uncle M in prison.
