The 3rd Annual Powers Staycation

Every year, on the Thursday before Easter, we kick off our annual Powers Family Staycation.  We do something fun in the afternoon, head to a local hotel and swim all evening and the next morning.

With our record 133 inches of snowfall starting to melt, the cars almost invisible.  So we started our adventures with a much needed car wash!

Adventure number 2...bowling!








I am not awesome at bowling.










He got the spare!



Missed!  Darn!


We aren’t much of a bowling family.  Jaycob beat me soundly.

At the hotel and ready to swim!


This year, the pool was FREEZING.  I never got in it.
















Time to warm up in the hot tub for a bit.  So warm!







One of the reasons we choose this hotel is because it offers complimentary dinner on weeknights, as well as breakfast in the morning.

After dinner we do some activities in the room until it is time to swim again.







After swimming is done for the night, we have ice cream sundaes!


The next morning we woke up, ate breakfast and swam AGAIN before heading off to McDonalds for some play land fun and lunch.  We arrived home in the early afternoon and promptly fell asleep.  Well, Darrin, Joshy and I did anyway.  Not sure what happened to the other two.
