Caleb and I went on a 4 day vacation with friends Jon and Melanie Semper to Palos Verdes Estates, Terranea Resort
Cousin Kirk sent a message...he had also recommended Terranea Resort and then with Uncle John and Aunt Barbara, gifted me with a gift certificate to use on my Spa day at the resort. THANK YOU so much!!!

Loved wearing the robe and slippers
They also gifted me with a bottle of champagne to help celebrate my birthday!

The next day we woke up to a beatiful view
We enjoyed coffee, tea and shared a breakfast burrito from the Spa Cafe on our patio
All ready for my SPA day with Melanie

I have never had a facial before and afterwards the lady commented on my beautiful skin! Wow! Loved my facial!!
We also enjoyed time in the steam room and Sauna

Waking up the next day to rain drizzling
We enjoyed brunch at Catalina Kitchen
Then we went on a little hike along the coast to Terranea cove to see the caves
Water so beautiful
We saw dolphins and a seal
In the cave...so fun!
Reading, watching the rain, and enjoying champagne.
I didn't plan on drinking all weekend, but the resort kept treating me and pampering me for my birthday...what's a girl to do.
Since it rained most of the day we decided to go for a drive with Jon and Melanie to Manhattan Beach
We got to watch the College Women's Beach Volleyball Tournament.
USC currently ranked #2 in the nation, they played against LSU.
We came back to the resort and then got ready for a night in Hermosa Beach
Hard to see but loved the lanterns hanging in the trees
Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa beach
We heard 10 different comedians and had a great night
Enjoying Caramel Cheesecake Creme Brulee

Woke up to another drizzling day.
We had a great destination getaway for my 40th birthday, but were very excited to get home and love on our kids
