Benjamin is going to get used to the good life. For his first hotel stay this past week Benji got spoiled at the Ritz Carlton in Tyson's Corner, Virginia. And I quite assure you this is not our normal hotel choice. (One of the project teams I had been on won a big award at work and there was a luncheon on Thursday with our CEO. Cap One put me up the night before, so of course I brought the family along.)
I'm happy to report that Benji behaved very well. We brought his swaddle and his white noise, so he actually slept very well. (He's now sleeping 6-7 hours in one stretch at night.) Matthew took him for a walk around the Galleria mall attached to the hotel during the casino night and they went for a drive during my luncheon. So, we didn't have any angry hotel neighbors banging on our door and Benji got to see new scenery.
While it wasn't a romantic night at the Ritz, it was a successful first overnight with the baby.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
