Loretta has outdone herself again! There are six steps leading up out of this gigantic hotel as well as a ramp which is usable but accessible only if you make a detour to the other side of the lobby. The hotel has three towers—we are in tower 3. Well, we went out to meet Lauren, and we had dinner while we were out. When we came back, I had us come down the ramp instead of the steps. Then we went and found Starbucks just for reference. It was closed—it closes at 6:00 PM. Loretta acted annoyed and clearly had other ideas. She was very decided about this, and I made a crack about her perhaps finding the button, meaning the elevator button. Dad said, “It’s not anywhere near here,” and I said I thought she might do it anyway. So he got back and we just let her go.
That silly girl went through a big crowd and down some halls and came out by the buttons and stopped smack in front of an elevator. When one opened, she hauled in there like the world was ending—they had almost closed on her previously. Upstairs she went straight to the room and stuck her nose on the door handle. What a good girl!
