Traveling with Granny

The Hebner's and Granny are on vacation.  We are making our way home when Granny says shes tired of being in the car and wants to get a hotel room for the night.    So we stop.  We have a good night's rest and when it's time for check-out we can't find Granny.  The kids go outside to look for her and they find her crossing the streeet.  She comes to the front desk and tells us that there is a lovely Zoo, an amusment park and a professional baseball stadium right across the street.  Theres a game tonight she says with her eyes as big a saucers. Let stay and go to the game.  The game isn't til 6 p.m. we have to stay another night.  We all go to the game and half way through Granny gets tired and says shes going back to the  hotel and go to bed.  We finish watching the game and also return to the hotel.  Next morning we are checking out, and there is no Granny.  The kids find her walking up the sidewalk waving at them with tickets in her hand to go to the Zoo.  I haven't been to the Zoo in forever, she tells us.  So we take our bags back to our room and the Zoo doesn't open til noon.  Granny wants to eat lunch at the Zoo.  We all go to the zoo and after walking all day, we are all exhausted and find our way back to our hotel rooms and Granny goes to bed.  Next day we are checking out AGAIN and that's right you've guessed it, Granny is missing.  The kids go to look for her and now she has decided that she wants to go to the amusement park which doesn't open  til 2:00.  AGAIN, we take our bags back to our room.  As we are entering the gates of the amusment park, I wake up needing to go to the restroom and as I'm making my way back to my comfy bed, I am so glad I don't have to go back to the hotel for another night.  I wonder if Granny ever lets us leave that place.
