Pillows for Pella

Rockapella at the Wigwam

Day 3

November 22, 2008

We returned to our house suite, and got ready for our photo shoot.  We had decided that we should take pictures of what Kevin would be bluesing about with his harmonica, or at least do something similar.

We felt like (very modest) Victoria’s Secret models, decked out in our jammies and pretending to fight.  After a few photo snaps, though, we couldn’t hold back, and ended up actually hitting each other and knocking each other down.  

Posing with Pillows for Pella

So, guys, when you are all fantasizing about your favorite women having pillow fights, YES, they’re actually getting into it.  They may not always be as naked or fighting over you as you would necessarily want them to be, but pillow fights are fun.  Don’t let anyone talk you out of that, unless they had a bad personal experience with a pillow.

Pillow FIGHT!!!

We also took some photos of us in the big bed in Karla’s & Wendy’s room.  Now that I think about it, we should have left an empty space and photo-shopped Kevin right into there.  Oh, but these pictures were going onto the Christmas cards for the rest of the guys.  They might not have enjoyed that as much as Kevin. ;)

Don't we look like a welcoming bunch of fans?

Brady was delirious with exhaustion, so he ran around quite a bit and enjoyed watching our pillow fights (we’re training him early), before we all went to sleep.  Well, Jenn and I had to giggle quite a bit before actually falling asleep, but you know what I mean.

Bro and family left before breakfast the next morning, and Wendy had a lot of time before her flight, so Jenn, Karla and I went to the hotel gift shop to have pastries and coffee at their in-house Starbuck’s.  Jenn wrote some postcards, and I bought myself a Wigwam t-shirt as a souvenir.  

We said our goodbyes to Wendy, happy that it would be only one more month until we would see her again for a Pella show.  Jenn drove us back to the airport, where we got into the very long line to check our bags.  It was the Sunday before Thanksgiving, so that was to be expected.   Karla’s flight was going out of a different gate, so we bid her farewell. The people at the security line were annoyed with us,  because Jenn is on A-list status with Southwest, and I had just become the same, so we got to bypass the long line.  I was annoyed by the one family that was holding up the line due to gate restrictions, but I need to remember that not everyone travels as much as Jenn and I do.

Our flight was fine.  Jenn’s car service guy didn’t get lost nor did he take forever to pick us up or get us home, so we were happy.  I had a fabulous time on this trip.  I hope to return to the Wigwam and maybe even stay longer to enjoy the spa again, and maybe Rockapella will play there again.  Maybe they’ll fix the speakers and the lighting by then, too.  Sheesh.

One month to go, and we have holiday shows!!!  YAY!!!!

See you in December!
