russ and mindi drive a convertible red vw in cali



we just got back from a week in california for one of rbc's marriott conventions--he and i were both so sick that we could hardly function, so that was a huge bummer and cut deeply into our social calendar.  but we got to drive the cutest convertible vw all over hollywood.  driving with the wind in our hair and the music up loud with rbc is one of my favorite things, ever.  thank you, budget rent-a-car for taking pity on two sickly sad-sacks.

russ won an award for his courtyard being in the top ten percent of all the hotels, and he was recognized at their awards ceremony, i pretty much think he is ALL THAT.

i loved that this was a vacation type work trip and we enjoyed time together with no kids--we were gong long enough to miss them!!

the BEST thing that we did there was go to the grove in l.a.--it was seriously the coolest outdoor spot i have ever been to--if you are down in the area you HAVE to go.

the BEST PART of this trip is the fact that we got to stay at the jw marriott santa monica le merigot.  it's a pretty big deal and usually much too expensive for an employee rate but somehow we scored.

having a husband who works in the hotel industry is truly a blessing.  i love this life we've created.

Mindi said...

not really that impressive--i have a bunch that i had in drafts that i put on--any time i think of something i have to immediately go to the computer and hurry and type it out so i have a little "storage"--which is more than my food storage, come to think about it. pathetic.
