Playing Monopoly in the hotel room
For spring break we decided to turn Corey's accepted student orientation weekend at DigiPen into a little family vacation. So - we went down to Bellevue and stayed in the Red Lion Hotel for three nights and just hung out together. We played some serious games, including Monopoly. We ordered pizza in the room, watched movies, and just had fun being together. We went to Red Robin for hamburgers and Denny's for Grand Slam breakfasts and went to the IMAX theater to see Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D. On Friday we got to tour Nintendo and see their museum and the kids got to buy things at a discount at their store. Corey was very excited to buy the Nintendo DSI that he had been saving up for. It doesn't come out until tomorrow, but he got it on pre-release! On Saturday, Rick, Corey and I sat in lectures and orientation meetings all day and Uncle Jeff took Hannah and Hayden to the Seattle Aquarium and to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner. All in all, it was a great week. We look forward to our next vacation, where we will have three more people in the Crawford family!
