Free night!

Thanks to all that travel I've been doing and a promotion from Starwood, I earned a free hotel night. Mike and I headed towards the beach and ended up at the new Aloft hotel in Chesapeake, VA. It was a very cool place. Too cool, in fact, for us old farts. But the room was nice and we had a nice time on the road together.

Speaking of road trips, we are taking the kids to meet my parents in Kentucky tomorrow. They're going to Boonville for a whole month! We'll drop them off and hang out in Huntington, WV for the night. We've been there before, a nice little college town (home of the Marshall Thundering Herd), and I'm looking forward to dinner at Max & Erma's. Actually, I'm looking forward to the banana pudding dessert.

Once the kids are away, the travel really kicks in, for both of us. But that's a whole other story.
