ummmm.......What to Say.......

I am sitting on the floor basically in a closet.

An ironing board is to my left and the hotel

room door is to my right.

I DID NOT request this photo....but here it is.

You know that saying about getting what you

pay for?  Well, it is true.  When I got four nights

for four people for 273.00 I should have known

it would have its drawbacks.

Oh well.

The beds were comfy!

I do not lie.

So....for that I am thankful.

However, I have never, ever, ever

seen a hotel....name brand......run in 

such an unprofessional manner.

More on this subject later.....maybe.

I am taking photos to send to headquarters.

But I must be very nice right now since we

have three more nights here and I wish to 

live.  Suffice it to say that all of the problems

could be solved with a changing of the management!

Our drive to Kentucky was beautiful.

I admit that I kept nodding off but was too

nervous to really sleep because I always 

think it is my job to keep Warren awake.

He would probably be fine...but you just never know.

((grin))

We got to the Ichthus Festival site last evening

and were initally very impressed.  The campsites

were neat and orderly and the staff courteous

and helpful.  We found the line for the will call window

to pick up the kids wristbands so that they could go 

in....it was about 9:30pm.  Remedy Drive was to play 

at 10:45pm.  Tired as they were Mikey and Chelsea

were eager to check out the site.  Well, we stood in 

the line for a bit and then a woman came out and announced

that they were closed, we would have to come back tomorrow.

Understand that our paper said this window would be open

until 10pm.  I had checked.  And rechecked.

No way were we driving all the way out there to 

not be able to get them in.

We headed back to the car.

Part of me said, "Good, we can get to bed."

Part of me said, "NO WAY!"  They paid for 

these tickets and they are getting in!!"

That last part of me won.

I called out to the woman checking for wristbands

and showed her our paper.  She was furious due to 

other changes the organization had made that impacted

her....a volunteer....so she marched over to the will 

call window and then came back to get us.

We got our wrist bands.

Good thing, too.

Once Warren saw what it said on the paper

he wasn't leaving!!

They got off easy....lol.

The kids had a great time for a couple of hours

and then we returned for them.

Security looks to be great there.

Local police and volunteer security are evident

on site and it is clean and orderly.

So....now that we have gotten all of the paperwork

out of the way it should be good.

We are on our way this morning to meet my dear blog 

friend, Tracy, at Back to Basics.  This woman is such a 

hard worker and I know I am pulling her away from some

very important canning, freezing or something equally 

industrious.  But I am SOOO excited to meet her in person.

She and Abigail are meeting us for an early lunch

at an Olive Garden.  By the way, I made the copycat 

recipe for the Zuppa Tuscana this past week and it 

turned out great.  Want to try it?  Here is the link.

I'll finish with the reason that I am on the floor with 

my laptop.  The issue is outlets.  There aren't many 

and there is NO chair.  Of the outlets that we did find

two are hanging out of the wall....no joke!

Oyyyyyy.!.
