Spa Weekend

We've started a fantabulous tradition in our family! For Mother's Day weekend, the ladies go away to the spa for a retreat of pampering, shopping, munching, lounging, and sleeping.

We started the weekend off right with a delightful Mexican dinner -- complete with mariachis singing "Happy Birthday" to my dear mother who just turned 34... at least she looks like it!

Then, as per usual, we took off to shop sans children. One word: DELIGHTFUL. 

After a frustrating, yet comical (and legendary) game of musical hotel rooms, we landed in our beds and conked out -- with the help of an unusually large dose of Unisom. 

Lounging at the La Costa Spa pool is divine, even when you emerge scathed by sunburn. I learned that I am no longer 16 years old and invincible.

And our departure. We decided that two days is definitely not long enough! Next year, we're takin' three. Right, honey? ;)
