Guess how many bathroom trips we had to make in the 3+ hour drive?  Answer at the end. 

Hello from a crappy hotel in Maryland Heights.  Ugh.  We joined our family already here, and the monsters are disappointed because there’s no pool.  Also, the weekend forecast is rain.  We planned to hit the zoo tomorrow, but if it rains… and we have no pool…  we might be looking for other indoor inexpensive opportunities.

Nothing like walking up to your door, which is propped open, with tools and junk spread out, water jugs leaking all over the desk.  Evidently, the maintenance man was using this room as his “home base” tonight, and the front desk accidentally rented it out. 

At least we have free internet!  I’m going to use it shortly and look for another hotel. 

We ate a very late dinner with Grandma at the Fuddruckers beside the hotel, and we’ll plan on seeing Grandpa at the hospital first thing in the morning. 

Oh, and the bathroom trips?  Counting the first one at home and the TWO trips at dinner, that makes FIVE.  Nothing like having three girls.
