Tina: Yea, I’m good. I’ll be right back.

Server: Will there be anything else?

Bette: No we are all set, read to shop now.

Server: Well you only about an hour away.

Bette: We’re staying in Portland so I think we may stop at our hotel first and let this one get her nap. Shopping will be some much more fun if we do that.

Server: Smart Mommy. Thanks you should be in Portland in about a half hour.

Customer: She is absolutely adorable. How old is she?

Bette: Just about 18 months.

Customer: Same age as my grand baby. She lives in Texas so we rarely see her.

Bette: Hopefully when she’s a bit older she’ll be able to spend some solo time with you.

Customer: That is a very nice wish to send our way, thank you and enjoy your day.

Bette: You do the same.

Tina: I’ll get her set and settle the tab.

Bette: Thanks T.

Customer: You have a lovely family. I wish you a lot of great years together.

Tina: Thank you. We’ve already had 10 and it just keeps getting better and better for us.

Bette: I was thinking we should go check in and let Boo get her nap. The outlet is about 20 minutes north of the hotel we can head that way between 3-4, miss rush hour and have plenty of time to shop.

Tina: Sounds like a great plan. Do

Bette: I really enjoyed that lunch, both the food and the time. Nice comfy place.

Tina: The restaurants here have been a nice change of pace from New York.

Bette: Wow we were close, here is our exit.

Tina: This looks like a fairly new hotel.

Bette: I think it is pretty new.

Tina: Well this one is already asleep so I’ll just wait in the car with the baby.

Bette checks in and is happy to find their room is ready and the Pack-n-Play has been set up there.

Bette: I’ve got a luggage cart. We’ll just grab her bag, ours and doggie?

Tina: Yea that should hold us for the night.

Bette: Here is your room key, just head up and I’ll be right up with our bags.

Tina easily makes it to their room carrying the baby. She’s bit confused as they have a 2 bedroom and they’d only booked a one bedroom.
