Rainy Day and Dancing

During the night I was awakened by a dripping sound in the room.  It was raining hard and I discovered a wet puddle on the floor at the foot of our bed.  Daylight showed us a leak in our ceiling.  The water was coming from a patio deck over our room.  We notified customer relations and their response was to move us to another room for two nights.  We declined since it wasn’t supposed to rain much.

Following a late breakfast we played games at the Kid Zone.  Liam and Vincent played laser tag, Ella and Nora jumped on the trampoline park and all the adults went bowling except for me, I just watched and cheered.  While Ella was jumping she threw her beanie baby up and it went down behind the climbing wall.  The staff spent a long time trying to retrieve it using numerous long armed tools but it was wedged in too tight to move.

I got a therapeutic massage.  The 80 minute session worked wonders on my shoulder.  The masseuse did a great job on the shoulder area and then a full body from scalp to toes.  This is only the second time I have had a massage.  I may have to do it again!  The rest of the day was spent at the pool.

This evenings dinner is for adults only (Luca at 18 is an adult now).  Erin and Bryan got the kids settled in their room, showed them how to order room service, and how to use the hotel phone in the room. It seemed like we had to really work to get a table for seven at the French restaurant, MaMaison.  We were told we could have a private area on the condition of ordering a bottle of wine. Not a problem, we went through three bottles of wine.  In typical French fashion the portions were small but everyone thought their food was very good.  We ate duck, salmon, lamb, and sea bass.  The place was pretty empty as only four other tables were seated.

Tonight’s entertainment was called The White Party where they encouraged everyone to wear white.  When we finished dinner the party was in full swing in the lobby with loud music, white balloons, costumed dancers in lights and glitter, jugglers, and lots of liquor.  Luca moved away from his parents while we danced around.  John really got into the music and entertained us with his moves.

Vincent texted a picture of Liam who had fallen asleep early so the parents went home.  I left John at the party and turned in early.
