Traveling with Teenage Girls

This week is Spring Break and the girls and I have been hanging out with sweet husband in Seattle, Washington where he had business. We have had fun at the Space Needle, a Blazer-Sonics game (o.k. that was sweet husband’s idea), shopping and pretending to be a rock band at the Experience Music Project.

We stayed at a lovely hotel right on the Pier overlooking the Puget Sound. Our room was very Northwest-ish – complete with a fireplace.

The problem was – the bathroom! Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful bathroom but I am sure that this particular hotel had to have been designed by a man because NO WOMAN would have ever made the mistakes that were made with this hotel bathroom.

Mistake #1 – A clear glass shower door.

When you are traveling with teenage girls – there is no way they are going to allow anyone else to be in the bathroom when they are showering when there is a clear glass shower door.

Now this wouldn’t be as big of a problem if Mistake #2 hadn’t been made …

…the ONLY MIRROR AND SINK was in the same room as the glass shower door!

So only one teenage girl could be in the bathroom at a time and when one of those teenage girls is a Makeup Maven and only has one speed – SLOW – it takes a LONG time to get everyone ready in the morning.

What were those hotel designers thinking!

So the moral of this blog post….when traveling with two teenage girls always check the configuration of the bathroom first!
