Treated Myself!

August 11th, 2011 at 05:55 am

I decided fairly last minute last week to take a mini-trip by myself, since I was going to be home alone anyways...

I called the hotel and asked if they had a particular type of room (jacuzzi overlooking the ocean)...deciding that if they did not, I wouldnt go. But they did!! It was a splurge, but I felt so stinkin pampered by the end of the weekend, that it was well worth the $200 price tag.

Here is where I stayed:


This is looking out of the room...at the ocean..and on the left is the jacuzzi tub.


The king bed...very comfy! The room had a couch and a chair..


I loved soaking and looking out at the ocean. The temp stayed in the 60's all weekend, so it was a nice way to beat the heat too.

It was a two hour drive, so I bought a used book on CD and listened to it on the drive over. I only ate out once...and that was a burger. Otherwise, I took food from home. With gas, the meal and the room, I spent just under $270 for the whole weekend. But I came home so relaxed. To me, it was money well spent.

This weekend, I can start enjoying the garden. I had some cherry tomatoes tonight...and the corn, a zucchini and some romaine lettuce will be ready to enjoy in the next day or so. There is nothing like home grown fresh off the vine veggies.

My son started his new job on Monday. He loves it. He loves the area too. I am so happy for him. While they will be 5 hours away, they will be so much better off financially. Anf my son will be much happier. So for that, I am happy for them.

I am looking forward to Friday's Meteor Shower. We are combining the backyard camp out with my middle grandson's third birthday party. Should be a lot of fun for all the grandbabies...and for us big kid stargazers!!
