Timeshares

Yesterday Jordyn and I went to a timeshare presentation for the Hilton Grand MarBrisa in Carlsbad - our penance for the $100 gift card we got at LegoLand. It was long and a bit boring, but the whole process was kind of interesting - they have it down to a science. I love how they tell you upfront they aren't going to twist your arm and then they bring in a series of "closers" (there to do something with you other than close you of course) after you've already said no 3 times. When we left, Jordyn and I were talking about the sales guy who was with us most of the time - he was a nice enough guy but Jordyn remarked (and I immediately concurred) that, "he was joky without being funny" - not a good combo. I think Emery felt the same way. During the critical time of our guy's presentation the child care called and asked us to come get Emery b/c she was crying. The sales guy said to just bring her up with us, which we did. The entire time she was with us she kept saying to the guy, "Bye bye."
