The Pendry San Diego

I once again took the train down to San Diego.

This time to celebrate my gorgeous girl's birthday!

I highly recommend Amtrack's Surfliner

it goes right along the ocean so much of the time.

It's a two hour train ride from my house in Orange County

which gives me not only some working time

but makeup as well.

The train drops you off in the heart of San Diego's Downtown.

I simply walked to the hotel.

City walks are always some of my favorite walks!

I scheduled a Spa Day
at my favorite San Diego hotel the
 Pendry

for Ellis and I to celebrate!

Jeff came down later that afternoon

so we could get in some good family time

(Hunter and his beautiful wife were able to join us for a family dinner!

as well as an evening getaway for Jeff and I.

Ellis and I started our day at the gorgeous
Pendry's Provisional

 restaurant for breakfast.

I have loved celebrating my wonderful girl's birthday

since her very first birthday!

I can't believe this was the 27th!

I think I love her more with each passing year!
I am so proud of the young woman she has become.

I't just seems like yesterday I was designing clothes for 

my darling daughter!

I'm sure I'm quite prejudice 

but how absolutely adorable was she!!

I have made it my mission

to celebrate and savor all of her ages.

Celebrating this year with a 

Mimosa Flight 

was certainly a lovely way to toast a daughter

who I am ever so proud of!

Next it was up to
SPA Pendry 
upstairs.

We had massages and then spent time in the whirlpool.

Then we went back to our room.

My husband had surprised us with a gorgeous suite

complete with a bar and lounging area

and

 one of the most luxurious bathtubs ever!

If you stay at the Pendry

you might enjoy buying a gold coin

and ....

Taking it two the Moet vending machine!

There are only two of these vending machines in the States!

When Jeff arrived the three of us

were able to enjoy drinks and appetizers 

in our spacious room!

We ordered the garden hummus

it came with tiny baby vegetables 

'planted' in black almond soil 

with hummus underneath.

How sweet is the special cupcake for Ellis!

For Ellis's birthday

I gifted her one of my late Mother's rings.

It made my heart so happy to know Ellis can wear a memory of my mother.
I know it will make my mother happy too!

For a celebratory dinner we went to one of  San Diego's newest restaurants 

Fort Oak

located in charming Mission Hills.

How adorable are their 'walrus pops'.

Freshest desert presentation I have seen in a long time!

The next morning Jeff and I slept in

and 

had a leisurely morning

with breakfast in our beautiful room.

I can't say enough about the wonderful food and service at the Pendry!

We have stayed many times

and it's always top notch consistently!

It was a gorgeous day for a walk along the harbor

and 

stunning views of the city. 

We also saw some of the largest mega yachts I have ever seen!

Back in the room

I just had to take advantage of the gorgeous tub!

I was so glad I did!

It was truly one of the best baths I've had!

This trip I packed an entirely black and white wardrobe.

As I have said before

I think it's easiest to pick one color palate 

when traveling.

This plan provides a maximum of options for outfits.
