(The bar is especially low in this case, though)

Probably the most heartwarming part of all this, honestly.

(He also hasn't rung our doorbell at night again, thankfully. I'm a cranky lady when I'm awoken from my precious sleep.)

Pretty sure the desk guy believes us, though. He's quite apologetic about even having to mention it to us. He sees us walk by with our two-year-old every day and like, who's having raucous late-night parties on weeknights with a toddler in the house? Not me.

And here's the best part (in my opinion): we will eat at the hotel breakfast buffet two mornings in a row. Breakfast that I do not need to plan, prepare, or clean up after. THE LUXURY.

Is it silly to pay for a hotel 30 minutes from where I live? Maybe. But I don't care. We're going to have FUN.

We did book the spooky one just in case (it's refundable) but I'm looking for better options still lol

This looks great! Thanks for the suggestion.

I start out the week with thoughtfully planned meals and end the week with "Just give up and buy something at the Seven Eleven."
