The week before I had to go back to school my mom and I escaped to beautiful southern California. It just happened that Josh, Lisa, and Tanner were going to be there for a conference that Lisa was attending so we made it a vacation! We stayed at my mom's cousins house. They live in Ritz Cove in Dana Point. This is there view from the patio. Need I say more!

There is nothing like starting and ending your day with a walk on the beach!

We celebrated my mom's birthday with day in Laguna.

He is just so stinking cute! I love that boy!
Lisa and I met up with Jennie and Stacy for a spa day. Oh my gosh! It was so wonderful. Glen Ivy Day Spa ... for anyone seeking a truly relaxing day!
We had such an amazing week. I certainly could have stayed another week or two or ten!
Sadly we had to leave this cute face and return to home and work! My mom and I took the earliest flight out Monday morning so that I could make it back in time to my first meeting. How depressing is that! I guess I just have to live on memories until the next time!
