We took advantage of the Good Friday holiday to utilise a soon-to-be-expiring hotel voucher and checked into the Swissotel Stamford for a night away from home. We couldn’t get another night as the hotel was fully booked but on the plus side, they allowed us to check in at 9am on Friday so we really got to enjoy an extended stay nonetheless!
It worked too well unfortunately. We ended up paying $2.50 for a call he managed to make. Argh.
It was a surprisingly good break! We were able to wander around the area at leisure, shopping, munching on snacks and just going for walks. I realised that because of all the house-hunting we’ve been doing, our weekends have pretty much been shot for the last many months. It felt so good just to be out and about without any schedule (save Noey’s sleep and meal times, which I can be quite anal about), doing our own thing. It was both literally and figuratively a breath of fresh air.
So despite it being only a day and the fact that we still very much in the same country, it actually felt like a holiday. It was a welcome break and a nice start to the long weekend, just the hubby, baby and me.

Funny enough my boy sleeps in the same kind position like your boy and I have to turn him from time to time so give myself more space.
