Who Put Chris In Charge???

Soooo....this weekend is our trip to Savannah. We have been talking about this trip and planning this trip for months. We leave Ethan with my parents and are taking Nina. Jodi and Romeo, Dave and Jana, Chris and Heather and Chris and Melanie all leave their children with grandparents (and we are all confident in their abilities...). Here's the timeline...Friday 2pm - the Thompsons, Kings and Nobles leave in the Thompsons vehicle. Friday 3pm - the Brinkleys and the Hambys leave in the Brinkleys vehicle. We arrive in Savannah around 6pm and go to the hotel immediately to check in.

The front desk person was happy to report that she had 3 rooms available for us for the weekend of October 19-21 (check the date).

After Chris realized that she was not kidding, and the hotel manager also was not kidding, and that they were booked for this weekend, a look of shock/anger/embarrassment/horror/dismay came over his face as he realized he had to tell the Brinkleys and Thompsons they were going to have to shell out some more money for another hotel. Where was that hotel going to be? Not quite sure at this point. Ok, so, as they turned and walked out of the hotel lobby, the manager asked the King, "Would you like me to cancel your reservation for next weekend?" To which the King responded in a most sarcastic "ha ha" and walked out. Two hotels later, we finally got rooms - handicap stanky rooms with big dogs across the hall, but rooms.

We are having a great time. The weather is perfect and we have enjoyed every moment. The King has been the winner of most calls made back home and of most calls received from a 4 year old. We have learned a lot about each other - a lot that we didn't "need" to know...nonetheless, we have decided that next year, Chris will NOT be in charge of the hotel reservations.
