Our Annual Valentine's Day mini-vacation....

Yesterday Mr. Kolb and I took advantage of the girls' break from school, his light work load and the upcoming Valentine's Day and loaded up the Kolb party bus for our annual Valentine's Day mini-vacation. Taking the girls to stay at a local hotel for a fun night away has become one of our favorite family traditions. This year we selected the new Springhill Suites and were not disappointed. The room was perfect and we had the pool to ourselves for almost the entire time we used it. The past 24 hours have been spent....

checking in...

settling in....

posing as the most adorable luggage ever... trying to contain our excitement by holding on to each other....

perfecting the swimsuit model pose...

treading slowly together into the somewhat chilly pool...modeling sweet goggles...
jumping into the pool...
playing ball...

goofing around....

sucking down root beer...

enjoying each other's company...

chowing down Godfather's Pizza in the lobby...

being tossed around like rag dolls....

playing hotel in a hotel while sipping on hot chocolate...

checking out looking like world travelers...

pigging out at Red Lobster...

And wondering how I ever got so lucky... Happy Valentine's Day to you all.
