Part of my mother's day present was an overnight at a beautiful resort in Fairhope, Alabama. Fairhope is an adorable little community in Alabama right on Mobile Bay, it has lots of cute shops and great restaurants. A group of girlfriends and I stayed at the Grand Marriot Resort and Spa. It is spectacular. This was our room and I don't know if it was the bed, the linens, the room or what but we stayed in bed until checkout! It was lovely.
This was the view from our balcony, it was very peaceful watching the boats sail in and out. We even ordered our breakfast room service so we could eat on our patio. We ate cinnabon french toast, it was as good as it sounds. Except the portions were insane. We each had three giant cinnabons on our plate and bacon and fruit.
We all enjoyed massages at the spa. This was in the changing area and lounge. We spent a lot of time here chatting and giggling because the quiet room was VERY quiet. Some people take those quiet rooms so seriously. We did enjoy the whirlpool and sauna in the quiet room though, oh and they had some great cookies too :)
Maribel, Cynthia, Marian, Sue and me at dinner at the Colony Grill in downtown Fairhope. We all had delicious meals and were thoroughly stuffed when we went back to the hotel. It was such a fun, relaxing time. It was great to have some mommy time without the kids before Steve leaves for deployment. The kids and dad had some great bonding time also while I was gone. They went swimming, out to eat and to see
Kung Fu Panda. Luke called me that night and said, "Mommy, I want to take karate." Oh boy.
