Just kidding.<BR/>I stuck my husband in a closet once. Before we were married, a group of us rented a cabin on a lake. They assigned Chris and I the same bedroom. We found a cot and set it up in the closet. I lucked out and spent the two nights with the queen bed all to myself.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470283761189392205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-76566690582155197042007-02-21T23:38:00.000-05:002007-02-21T23:38:00.000-05:00This is a suggestion that we follow all the time a...This is a suggestion that we follow all the time and it really does make all the difference in the world!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-65623608158014825542007-02-21T22:28:00.000-05:002007-02-21T22:28:00.000-05:00These are great suggestions!

We have 3 children (3 years, 2 years, 6 months). Last year we got a hotel suite that was 2 separate regular rooms with the adjoining door removed. One side had a sofa and table, refrigerator, microwave and FULL bathroom. It was fantastic! We don't even have 2 full bathrooms at home. = )<BR/><BR/>Definitely worth the extra money!<BR/><BR/>Stephanie in RIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-42435571880434404172007-02-21T19:03:00.000-05:002007-02-21T19:03:00.000-05:00This is the kind of thing I hadn't thought about. ...This is the kind of thing I hadn't thought about.

However, we have had to find accommodations for family events and my mom found a great alternative to hotels. She found a apartment complex that rented the "showcase" apartments by the night. We got a two bedroom apartment for $75 a night and the 3 bedroom one was only $100 a night. That was a lot cheaper than any hotel plus we could use the apartment swimming pool. It's worth looking into!heidi @ ggiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245994200237421760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-41726849537405067762007-02-21T13:08:00.000-05:002007-02-21T13:08:00.000-05:00Great idea about the closet!
