The Grand Asian Suite and Big Girl Bed

Our remodel is coming to an end, THANKFULLY!! We were at the stage where we had to be out of the house for 48 hours so that they could finish the hardwood floors with all the toxic stuff. We took advantage of the situation and with Marty's connections we stayed like kings at the Tulalip Resort in Marysville. It was probably the nicest hotel room either of us have ever stayed in. They have several themed suites there. We stayed in the Grand Asian Suite. It was so nice and very relaxing. I even spent a couple hours in their amazing spa.

On our way to the hotel I dropped Josie off in Snohomish to spend some time with Liz and family. It is so evident that Josie has a ball up there. She LOVES all the animals and spending time with Liz, Ed and Stephanie. This time she had an extra special time with Schnitzel, their new puppy, and the new baby goats. This city girl definitely has some country on the inside.

Thanks SO much Liz, Ed and Stephanie. We all appreciated it.
We reconnected with Josie and gang at our hotel. We planned to have dinner at one of the hotel restaurants but decided to thorougly enjoy our room and dining room by ordering room service. How often do you stay in a hotel that has a dining room in it?

We are trying to get out and walk more. There was a break in the crazy, spring weather and so we walked down to Pegasus for dinner.

Marty and Josie peeking through the fully bloomed daffodils. A good sign that Spring is coming even if it doesn't feel or look like it weather-wise. We moved Josie's bed up from the basement and back into her real room. We decided to go ahead take down the front railing. She is pretty excited about her big girl bed and the ability to get in and out by herself. She did pretty well last night and even took a 2 and half hour nap in it today. I know there will be more adjustment but am pleased how well it has gone so far. Hopefully it continues.

Here is Josie with her little friends practicing going to bed. Notice her speaking German as she puts her babies to bed. "ganz schon" meaning "very nice"
