Stay-Cation, Day 3

I think we may have about killed off Junell yesterday. Today we scrapped almost ALL plans and had a take it easy day. Robert has had a bad cold (he says it's his lungs recovering from his 4 days in Vegas), and the kids have been a bit snotty the last couple of days. After walking ALL over yesterday at Sea World, we just needed some "veg" time.

We went shoe shopping and "last minute back to school" shopping today. Junell stayed in her guest room and read and napped--vacation bliss, if you ask me! Then we had lunch and pretty much napped. We introduced the kids to "Schoolhouse Rock" today, and they loved it.

We took Junell to Cheeburger Cheeburger for dinner (are you catching a theme with our "visitors' menu?") and LOVED every bite. Now the family is watching "Happy Feet." We saw the penguins at Sea World yesterday, so we HAD to watch "Happy Feet."

All in all, we're having a nice, restful day. I wish Toph and Hannah were breathing better--both have an asthma-like cough (Toph's really IS asthma). We just need to rest and drink and hope it's all gone by Tuesday!

I LOVE stay-cation days! And Junell is an EASY guest! I mean, she brings her own guest room! She's just glad to be out of the oppressive heat of the Central Valley (thank goodness today wasn't as humid!). She's a booknerd, like us, so it's nice to veg and read--a real vacation!
