We have successfully managed to have a family outing from Room 313 at Hotel Jannat thanks to our new best friend the stroller. We were able to have breakfast downstairs (with the need to do only a couple laps in the dining room to keep Caleb happy) and then took a short stroll outside. It is pretty cool today and cloudy so we bundled him up in true Kyrg fashion. All the doormen were smiling at Caleb in his bear suit!
Overall review of Hotel Jannat for our adoptive family friends who read this blog: rooms are nice - nicer than Silk Road Lodge, food is okay, cribs are good quality although not a very soft mattress. Caleb hasn't seemed to mind that part. Location - not so good. We are 20 minutes outside of the Bishkek city center and there are not many restaurants with English menus and only a small grocery store nearby... so no quick trips to Beta or even easy access to Zum for souvenier shopping! We are here because it was literally the only room we could find because of a goverment summit that is taking place in Bishkek this week. I'd say it's ok for Trip 2 since you probably won't cruise out to dinner each night with baby anyways, but probably not a good idea for Trip 1 when you have more down time and would like better access to the sights of Bishkek.
Here's the breakfast buffet, complete with cream puffs, crepes, watermelon and unidentifiable breakfast meats:

I LOVE the bear suit. Too bad there isn't too much use for it in TX. Craig and I have been praying for all of you and can not wait to meet our god son. He is adorable and we are so happy for your new family.
What a cutie!!! I love, love, love his bear outfit. Use it while you can because you won't need it in TX! I'm glad to hear you guys are getting out and about - it's good for all of you!
