Stuck in the hotel

We are still here in Boca Raton. Apparently we will be here thru Thursday now. This is the only problem with traveling with him. He can't predict how long a fix or install is going to take. Mike didn't get done with work till 1am last night. He left for work early yesterday, only to start having truck problems. Thankfully he hadn't gotten to the freeway yet. He saw a GoodYear and pulled in. Our Water Pump went out. After getting quotes, he called our Durango Warranty Company and got $411. covered! Yeah!! That Warranty has SAVED us more than 5000 on the Durango! That was one of the best purchases financially that we have made. Today, he got to the site that he and 2 other coworkers are working on, AFTER going to another site to work first. He got there only to find out that they were just goofing off until he got there. Costing him 3+ hours of work. Which means, instead of being able to go do what we wanted to do today, go on a Safari or Airboat ride, the kids and I are stuck at the hotel. I have to say, I am not comfortable taking the kids out and about by myself. I don't have a car, and although there are shops nearby, I know the boys don't care to SHOP. They want to do something FUN! And shopping or window browsing at boutiques is not their ideas of FUN!! Yesterday we went to the pool. We were there for about 2 hours before they were done. I would of had pictures, but I was on the phone with Nancy. She has been a friend since 1989. We don't talk often, but when we do, we REALLY talk!! So since I was on the phone, I don't have pictures. Sorry boys... Today we switched rooms. Right across the hall from the other room. Why? Well, if you know Mike at all you already know why!! The other side has a better view. Seriously. Thats why. The room is the exact same. Or rather a mirror image of it. But the. view. is. different.

We now overlook the intercoast rather than the Ocean. (It is on the same side as the room we stayed in waiting for our last one) The other side had some construction going on so it wasn't as pretty as what the pictures showed on the website. Now we get to watch all the yachts go up and down the waterway.

I'm trying to talk the boys into going to the pool. But neither one wants to. Caleb is standing on the balcony watching the boats.

Zachary is lining up the dolls and whacking them with beaded necklaces. Oh, and Spongebob is on.

The moment Spongebob is over, we are OUT of HERE!!!! I don't care if they don't want to swim, they need sunshine!! I need sunshine!!!

Yeah!!! I talked them into going to the pool!!
