We started our foggy morning with breakfast at the hotel and then a quick drive through Queen Anne to get one last glimpse of the city. Totally unnecessary to see that view AGAIN, but it was still nice to briefly explore one more area before we headed out. At that point, we still had a couple…
The vacation Gods smiled down upon us. With a blessing, a little luck, and some blackout hotel curtains, all of us slept in until like 9:00 on our second day of vacation. A Festivus miracle! — rise and shine! — We wanted to get out of the hotel at a reasonable hour, mostly to fit as many meals as we could…
We wanted to get out of L.A. for a second. We were basically just seeking some cooler weather, to be honest with you. Yes, that could have been as simple as our annual drive up to San Francisco, but I was getting the itch and the urges. You know… to go somewhere new. See something different. Cross something…
I wanted to touch briefly on how much we loved our hotel in Seattle. Normally we stay with Marriott. It’s just a safe bet pretty much everywhere, ya know? Nothing fancy, but we trust the brand. And they are everywhere. But in Seattle – damn, they were expensive. Down by the waterfront was over $300/night the…
What an insane week it’s been. Insane in the best way possible, I mean. Last Sunday, Paul and I had a date night to see Elton John at the Staples Center. We were so far away, in the second to last row, we now know what he would look like from outer space. And I’ll tell you,…
Palm Springs. 113 degrees. Fantastic house. Poolside. SPF 100. Awesome group. Great food. Girl talk. The kind of weekend where your biggest problem is who’s getting out of the pool to get the next round of drinks?! I give you “Scenes from a Bachelorette Party”. Haha And that’s all I’m authorized to share at this time.…
Just got home from Sacramento last night. We went up there for my cousin’s wedding and had so much fun seeing our extended family. As usual it was go, go, go the entire time. We kept the boys busy and the wedding reception was epic, by Nugent standards. But nothing sums up the whole weekend…
Sneaky, sneaky 4th of July. Where did you come from? I mean BAM! All of a sudden, am I right? When I woke up on Friday, the last thing I expected was for my husband to suggest we go somewhere. I obviously am not one to turn down that offer, so we hopped in the…
What are the odds that I would have a baby shower in San Diego the same weekend that my Mom and step-dad would have a wedding to attend in San Diego? What a perfect excuse to get together and spend a lazy weekend in a hotel eating lots of food! Woohoo! We really didn’t do much. It…
Well, we are at the end of our awesome vacation. You’re probably not as sad as I was. On our last day, Paul had plenty to do with the wedding folk, so I actually took some alone time. After dropping him off the The Mansion – yes, fancy – I took a little drive over the bridge into…
