Sometimes, it's the quirks of the hotel or motel or even a restaurant that make a vacation so unique and memorable. First off, we noticed that this hotel didn't worry about more than 4 people in a room. Of course we didn't show up with all 5 kids and 4 adults to rent two rooms. Ed and Carolyn took care of registration while the rest of us stayed in the cars.
This time the quirk was that one of the rooms got a complimentary continental breakfast while the other one did not. Thus we had four free continental breakfasts and 8 hungry people. There was also no room to eat once you picked up some food. Carolyn convinced the breakfast supervisor to bring us two trays and four plates. She started piling fruits and yogurt on her plates while I did the same for the pastries. Soon there was more food on our trays than on the breakfast bar and people coming to eat breakfast were starting to pick food off our trays.
As you might imagine, 8 people, half of them children, could easily clear off the plates and still be hungry for more. At least it bought us time to get a real break or take an early lunch.
