My mom has been going stir crazy at home these past couple of weeks, so much so that she has begun remodeling various rooms in our house, so Ash and Damian very generously got her and my dad a hotel room in Santa Monica for Saturday night. She told us that she may as well have been going to Europe because she was so excited for this mini-vacation and even woke up at 3:30 Saturday morning cause she just couldn't wait to go.
She and my dad went to lunch at Shutters and watched some football and then Ash, D, and I met them to go to dinner. We went to a great restaurant on the Santa Monica Pier called Lobster and after, we headed to Westwood to go to this place called Diddy Riese that Ash and D knew about. Oh. My. Goodness. I have never tasted anything so delicious! You can choose any kind of cookie and any kind of ice cream and they make you an incredibly yummy cookie sandwich! We were in heaven.
This morning I picked them up at their hotel and we drove through Brentwood looking at houses (our favorite thing to do) and then walked around Santa Monica. It was a great weekend and we're all so happy we have a wonderful new member of the family who just happens to accrue a gazillion Starwood points thanks to his job and was able to get our mama out of town :) Thanks Damian!!!
