The Marriott Hotel pool area was perfect for relaxing and once we figured out we could rent a stroller Lotus Maria was considerably happier as well. She had a particular affinity for the sound of running water and loved watching and hearing all the other kids. Nate and I particularly enjoyed seeing the sun, which has been a rare site in Northern California these days. The stress of being parents for the first time was alleviated by the pool side vacation atmosphere.
