We are staying in a hotel in MA that is in a lovely area. It is a nice quiet hotel until the migitoids arrive. There is a sports center right across the street from our hotel where there is an ice rink. I have never seen the sports center being utilized because we are here for work and we are here only during the week. We have discovered that on the weekend the sports center comes to life with a pack of children and their siblings and their parents with lots and lots of hockey gear. Our formerly very quiet hotel had turned quite noisy. They arrived on Friday night. At 10:30 pm there was still running through out the halls, shouting, door slamming etc. Ok, I'll admit it. I've turned into kind of a grump. I expect that parents will encourage their children to behave. We ate breakfast at the hotel on Saturday morning which was a huge mistake. We should have gone to a restaurant. There was pastry ground into the carpet, crumbs everywhere and children running around. I know that kids will be kids but is it too unreasonable to ask that act like adults a little bit of the time. These were not toddlers; there was no reason that food should have been ground into the carpet. The whole situation just makes me irritable. Paul cannot possibly understand why I got so upset. He just doesn't think it's any big deal to have children being noisy and disruptive. This led to a huge discussion about what is acceptable and what is not. It was frankly just too heavy of a topic for a Saturday morning...so we went to Cape Cod. It was lovely there. Cold but beautiful. We managed to find a restaurant there that specialized in so called Mexican food. Being from New Mexico we were somewhat skeptical and we ordered sandwiches. A picture from the Cape!
