Swimming at the Motel

Swimming.  I remember being little and staying at a motel and being obsessed about swimming.  It was the sole reason to go on vacation in my little mind.  My husband and I have talked often about how we just couldn't understand why our parents didn't want to go swimming ALL the time at motels when we were small.  What couldn't be more fun than splashing in the water.  It turns out that our children feel the same way, even though we ourselves are no longer quite as motivated to go swimmng.  The kidlets had swimming on the brain, and spent a delightful afternoon in the hotel swimming pool while Grandma Great and Grandpa Great napped in the afternoon.  After all the splashing, the kidlets napped too.
