Hotels

What is it with hotels? The kids really enjoy them. They go crazy when we're in a hotel. Extra happy. Extra hyper. Maybe because they usually have all of our attention the whole time. It's a smaller space, so they always see us. Plus hotels have cable - Nickleodeon, especially. Disney Channel. Etc. We don't have cable at home. Then we often get hotels with indoor pools. Zach and Asia love swimming. I like it because I don't have to clean and we eat out a lot. But if I forget to pack stuff to drink, I end up getting pretty dehydrated. I usually try to book a hotel with a fridge in it. We've stayed in this Amerisuites in Hoffman Estates twice already. It's becoming a favorite. Free wireless or wired internet access. Cable. Fridge/microwave/sink in a small kitchen-like area with dishes and glass mugs. Then a separate area with couch (sleeper sofa) and desk. Then another area with two double beds. Very nice. And continental hot breakfast - free. This room has a problem with the tub, though. It won't plug, so the kids have to take a bath with the water constantly running. Something they do usually anyway, only I usually just let it run as a trickle and fill up slowly because Asia likes to play with running water.
I've been wondering if that has been making Asia sick. She likes to drink the bath water. She'll let the running water go into a cup and drink from the cup. At first, I thought that was ok since it's water from the tap, but sometimes i didn't wash the cup, just let it sit in the bathtub for too long. Other times, she'd drink from the bath water in the tub. So now, no more cups in the bathtub.
