Homeschooling Hyatters

This last weekend was the NYS homeschool convention and Dad was one of the key note speakers. Due to the fact that the convention has become an annual event for us (since Dad used to be the coordinator for the whole event) our whole family went. This year it was held in the Rochester Convention Center which has several hotels that are connected right to the convention center and because Dad was a speaker our rooms were provided for us and we got to stay in the Hyatt the nicest hotel there.

Now, picture this with me: a revolving glass door, a circular stairway, crystal chandeliers, bellhops and valets.

Now, picture a family of seven with countless plastic bags, several pieces of luggage, a cooler, a crate of water bottles on top of said cooler, pillows, flippers, goggles and a boogie board.

Okay, now put the two pictures together with the second picture walking into the first and you will have us as we walked into the Hyatt;)

I love oxymoron's and we were definitely one of the best ever and the best of the story is yet to come! (This has all just been the setting;)

It was a comical situation as we all walked from the parking garage to the lobby of the hotel all of us had our arms and hands and shoulders full (I personally thought that it would've been worth the money to see one of the bellhops trying to carry all of our stuff.) Anyway, we stopped to check in at the front desk and were the entertainment for anyone walking through. Then headed to the elevators on our way to the 18th floor (it was actually the 19th floor but everything came down one since there was no 13th floor) along with a lady, who squeezed in with us, on her way to the 21st floor. We got to our rooms and they were lovely and the view from the windows was beautiful, the only problem was they weren't adjoining. So Dad called the front desk and asked if it would be possible to get rooms that were. He was told that "Yes, we could but we would have to move to the 9th floor." So we grabbed all of our stuff and headed for the elevators where we met the same lady who had changed and was on her way to the pool, we all laughed and told her that we never went any where without all of our things. We had a great time hanging out in the hallway of the 9th floor (with all of our stuff plus the two gift baskets that were added in sprawled all over ::Pictured Below::) while Mom and Dad went to get keys to our new rooms. Well, Mom and Dad came back with the news that we were moving to the 4th floor where we could have a suite so we once again piled into the elevators (We moved alot faster this time because the elevator started buzzing if you left the doors open to long) and finally landed in a room that had a bed that went up into the wall in the day time, the perfect room for our family, and we were all very happy. The End;)
