hotel livin'

we left for sxsw on wednesday morning, a little off schedule but not too bad. joe took our van in for an oil change on monday and discovered that the air conditioner wasn't working. not a good idea for a trip to the south. so they ordered the part and fixed it wednesday morning. we headed to memphis on wednesday, where we spent the night. thurday we made it to dallas, where greta discovered (both to her surprise and ours) that she could climb in and out of the pack and play. luckily, she hasn't attempted this again. :) and friday we rolled into the great city of austin, texas!!
i might jinx it by saying this, but the kids have been AMAZING! they have been such troopers about riding in the car and have slept fantastically in the hotel. i think they secretly like "living" out of a hotel. otto likes the mirrored closet doors, while greta thinks it's pretty cool to ride the elevator a few times a day. she likes to remind us to "step back and wait to see if anyone is coming off".
