Five more hours in the car from the wedding location to the reception location. At the wedding location, the hotel was on a small main street of a small town, which put us close to shops, a playground, a garden, and other fun things to do. At the reception location, the hotel was on the corner of a busy street with nothing nearby but other hotels.
So, what do you do with a restless toddler when there is nothing to do? We jumped on the hotel bed, of course. My daughter couldn't get enough of it. We jumped and bounced and wrestled for nearly an hour.
Eventually, we got ready for the reception. I think this was my favorite part of the weekend. Not only were my brother and his new bride beaming, but I finally got to dance all night with my daughter. She insisted on dancing on the dance floor for much of the night as well. She loved it when I would perform her dance moves with her. Of course, she began to tire and snuggled up to me on my shoulder with her thumb in her mouth for the remaining dances of the night. I loved every minute of it.
