Lemon-Filled Weekend Getaway

Our plan was to go to St. George during the three day weekend in March and attend a concert at Tuacahn, but two weeks before when I tried to book a hotel, they were all taken. Apparently that weekend there was a softball tournament that took the hotel room that we were supposed to stay in. I've heard that, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." So we decided to drive to Lehi and stay in the Marriott by Thanksgiving Point. It had an indoor pool and we could rent a movie in the room and make popcorn.

When we got to the pool and saw how microscopic it was, we were a little disappointed but we swam anyway...or waded..with all the other families in the hotel that decided to splash in the chlorinated puddle. We headed upstairs and got all showered and ready for bed. I popped popcorn and we sat down to see what movies were available. There were no movies available. Could this be a mistake? No mistake. There was a movie theatre nearby and so as to not compete with them, this Marriott didn't have movies available in the rooms. What? We ate the popcorn in our pjs while looking at what was on TV. Hayden realized that Star Wars the Clone Wars was on. It was one of the final episodes. We turned it to the channel only to find that the channel was temporarily unavailable. We tucked ourselves in bed early and called it a night. The breakfast in the morning was great and we left there in good spirits because we're just that awesome and we don't let disappointment dictate our attitudes.
That lemonade that I made with all those lemons became tiresome to my taste buds. A small part of me thinks the next time life hands me lemons, I'm going to throw those lemons at life's head and yell, "I DON'T WANT YOUR STINKING LEMONS." The other more mature part of me thinks that next time I'll try making delicious lemon bars dusted lightly with confectioners sugar. Who would tire from a delectable creation such as this? Not me.
