Other vacation wisdom:
There is no such thing as "no-rub" sunscreen, nor waterproof sunscreen.
After you apply sunscreen to the kids, get yourself.
Don't overplan when and where on mealtime. Don't underplan potty availability.
Texans are real friendly.
Texans like funny jokes.
A novelty light saber makes a great flashlight. It's perfect for not bumping into the hotel desk chair on the way to the bathroom ...
... and for checking on the kids and their bears. I had some sort of attrocious play on words here with "visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads" and "visions of like...um... space bad guys and lasers and...um" its late and I'm on vacation, so let's just say that the kids are getting high quality "worn out from jumping on the hotel bed" sleep. G'night.
