Checking into the Union Club Hotel



After our shopping experience, we decided to check into our room. Matt booked us a room at the Union Club Hotel. We got what is called a "family room". It was neat. There were 3 beds! One full size bed in a room with a door, then the main part of the room had a twin bed and another full bed. Yep you read correctly, full size beds! Matt & I got to relive sleeping together in a full size bed. We mainly got the room so the kids could each have their own beds. Abby thinks the world is going to end because she has to share a queen sized bed with her brother on trips. So this seemed like the perfect answer.

As you can see in the picture - the kids had to play like the Suite Life of Zack & Cody and ride the luggage cart.

Upon checking in, we went on a driving tour of Purdue. The kids were already whining about all the walking - man they had not see anything yet.

We showed the kids the main parts of Purdue via the car, then headed to see our old apartment. Can you imagine our sadness when we discovered that 125 Marshall Drive does not exist??? Don't get me wrong, I'm more than thrilled to see that Purdue is prospering and new buildings (tons of them) are being built...but why our apartment ????? It was a sad sad moment! Matt and I both felt like a piece of us was gone. But maybe it's a symbol to move forward......

To take away the sadness....we went on a search for the VET buildings.....
