My 30th
Started with Dinner
We had dinner at a regular little restaurant. I wanted to go someplace relaxing, not so up tight. It was fun. We made a mess... or at least I did with my spaghetti in clam sauce. Slurp Slurp
The Room was amazing
When we checked in the hotel was bustling with excitement. The hotel is covered in lights for the annual "Festival of Lights". There were hoards of people everywhere on the ground level. As we made our way up to our room it grew quieter and people were no where to be found. They have ushers manning the elevators and stairway in order to keep the public (lights) out of the guest areas.
Complete with balloons as we walked in.
The room was so tall. Flat screen TV, fireplace, BIRTHDAY BALLOONS, large windows that stretched all the way to the ceiling.
This was the Rotunda just outside our room
Across from our room was another way down. This was the "Rotunda" that lead to the banquet halls and other rooms.
Our room was the second balcony from the left.
We took a walk around the hotel at night and took this shot from the out side.
Thanksgiving
Taking the 10 into Arizona through Blythe. Then to the 17 North.
Total Time: 5 hours and 23 Minutes.... so they say.
U of R
I did not get a chance to post this. We went to a Dia de los Muertos event at the University of Redlands to support a friend of ours. This was his first alter. Thanksgiving Gifts for Phoenix
We grew these gourds a few years back. I made a bunch of these little women for my family. My Tia and Tio from Arizona saw them and wanted one. It's been over two years and I finally made them one. The picture does not do her justice. The flash washed out the details. I made this one this morning... I did not like the original one I made. I had to start fresh. My husband just smiled and went for a jog... Crazy lady with paint brushes... run!
The bags for freshly made calabaza (which I have to finish coating in sugar in next half hour) and the other is for the gourd.
My latest... kind of...
I have two paintings sitting in my living room uncomplete. This one here took months to finish. I was done... but knew there was more to add. Then one day while my husband and I were out... milagro! Literally.
