The hammock and the rabid opossum

We decided to take a little trip and take the older 3 kids to visit the town we will be moving to. Our plan was to get a hotel room and make it a mini-vacation. Our kids have only stayed in a hotel one other time so this was a pretty big adventure--especially for them. Well, once we started looking to book our room we decided to go cheap. We got a room with two queens thinking that the kids could sleep in one bed and we could have the other. At least that was our plan. As you might have guessed our plan did not work out perfectly. John ended up sleeping with us. And the bed, since it was cheap, was not the most comfortable. I think Joe described the night well. He said "It was like sleeping in a hammock with a rabid opossum."
