The view from the back of the Ritz! We loved the warm weather, the ocean and flowers!
From our balcony, we watched this amazing kite surfer! It was awesome how he jumped in the air and criss-crossed along the waves!
The view out of our balcony. The hotel sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean!
Having a husband who is passionate about golf sometimes has it's perks. Last year, while playing in his favorite, most sacred of all tournaments, the Riverside Country Club Mulligan, Bob scored closest to the hole on #11. The prize was a two night stay at the Ritz Carleton Laguna Nigel Hotel in California with $250 to boot! Well, through all of our long snowy cold months, Bob has been dreaming of warm weather and going to Laguna to stay at the Ritz. This month, for Spring Break, that's what we did! We flew with Josh to LA and then stayed for two glorious days. We ate some wonderful meals, went to Disney's California Adventure Theme Park and relaxed by the pool all the while it was a blizzard here in Provo! Can't wait for this year's tourney... I won't even mind all the "practice" rounds of golf leading up to it!
Having a birthday is especially nice when you can celebrate for a whole week! We did just that for Bob's birthday this year. We started out the week by flying to LA to stay at the Ritz for two nights. Then on Thursday night, Bob and I went out to the Grill Room in Sundance for dinner (the Tree Room was closed). Friday night we went out to dinner and a movie with our married kids while Josh went to a party with his friends.
On Saturday night, we went to Outback Steak House and then the play, "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" with all the kids at the Hale Center Theater. Bob and I had already seen the play once, but it was so delightful and funny that Bob wanted to see it again with the kids! Our toughest play critic, Josh, loved it!
Sunday we had our traditional birthday dinner complete with the chocolate cake! It was quite a week!
