A Day at the Montage




It's been four years since my parents were able to come stay at our home.  So we tried to enjoy every moment.  One of our favorite days was spent walking along the coastline at the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach.  But first, we had some pampering to do.  





We strolled on in to the salon and got right to work on pampering Ruthie.  Linda, a darling lady from South Africa with a great accent took great care of mom.  She told her she was going to have her looking all "glam".  The head massage at the sink was especially nice.



Next came Priscilla.  As I was trying to get mom to pick out her nail color I prodded, "mamacita, cual quieres?"  Well, Priscilla jumped up and asked, "habla espanol??"  to which mom's face lit up and they began a conversation.  To our delight, we learned that she is from Antigua, Guatemala which was my parents' favorite city in Guatemala.  Mom, Dad, and Priscilla engaged in an hour long trip down memory lane in Spanish.




Next came lunch at the outdoor restaurant overlooking the ocean.  Now we were ready for our stroll along the coast.  The weather couldn't have been more beautiful or the water more blue and sparkly.  We hated to leave.

Your parents were such wonderful guests. They really seemed to have a great time out here. Your mom definitely left an impression on Jordy. She doesn't just kiss anyone you know.

Mom it was so sweet to watch you pamper and spoil both grandma and grandpa. I could see how much you loved them through your serving them. You are a great example to me.
