Stirrin' up the Hornets Nest

During the revolutionary war when a British troop commander, Charles Cornwallis was desperate for supplies riding through Charlotte. He figured the sleepy town would offer little resistance against his troops. He was caught off guard, however, by the locals ' spirited opposition, and during a fight with farmers, British soldiers overturned several beehives. Between the bees, the farmers and the rest of the city, the redcoats were expelled. Cornwallis reported to his superiors in England that the area was "a hornets' nest of rebellion."

Never thought you'd learn anything by reading the Guest Services Directory at the Marriott right? Now you know all about where I am! Now that you know where I am, you're probably wondering why I'm here! Good question! My colorful answer is that this is by far the best place to be ever since Megan and Eric's house went on the market and a potential buyer can wander in just about any time - we basically had to find a place that we can make really messy and get it out of our systems. My totally truthful answer is that we're her because Megan is attending a La Leche League conference (conference about breast feeding and other such related items). The best part of Megan's conference is that Eric and I have a very important job while Megan is away with Emery. WE HAVE TO PLAY WITH ANA!
This is our room at the Marriott (Thank you Hugh and Juanita!)
Not sure if you can imagine it, but this is pretty much what the room looked like when we got here...you should see it now...we're all so sick of telling Ana that she can't do anything because she'll mess up an immaculate house that we've moved onto just handing her things in the room and telling her to go crazy. You want to eat potato salad on the bed? Sure, let's just take off your clothes to minimize the amount of things that WE have to wash! Don't forget to go crazy with those raisins and crackers - Anything that's crumbly has to be eaten here because Lord knows that you're not allowed to eat in the clean house back at home!
As for bathing, well, at the Marriott...the baths are big!
And when it comes to sleeping, it's always fair game for a picture...Emery is a great victim for sleeping pictures (cause sleeping is his job) - and, really, who can resist taking a picture with the best scrunchy face around!
Charlotte North Carolina better beware! We're ready to stir up the Hornets' Nest and, well, we're ready to make a mess and start a revolution against cleaning (at least until Sunday when we have to go home and continue to keep the house immaculate in order to get it to sell)!
