Heavenly Anniversary ...

Almost two years to the date, many of you traveled to sunny Florida to help celebrate our wedding in St. Pete Beach. Having done little exploring of the Sunshine State since moving here, we decided to venture to south Florida for a long weekend and get away. What better way to relax than stay at the comfy Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood, FL?




Upon arrival Friday morning we ventured into Hollywood by foot exploring all the beach bistro shops adjoining Broadwalk. Later that night we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the hotel restaurant Cafe (very chique, btw).









The next day was all about pampering and relaxing. Michelle & I slept in on the heavenly Westin bed and hit the beach for some serious sun (bad sunburns as proof).

Later that afternoon we took a courtesy shuttle to the Diplomat Country Club for an hour-long Swedish massage. It was awesome, and included all the perks and amenities for the true spa experience. Later that evening we went back into downtown Hollywood to eat dinner and enjoy an Artwalk expo, along with some live street-music. This one guitarist happens to be Colombian, we purchased his CD and enjoyed his upbeat tunes on the drive back today.



In all it was a lovely weekend getaway ... the weather was perfect, we got some sun, and enjoyed this four-star resort to its finest! Next year Michelle suggested a cabin retreat in wintery Michigan .... hmmm ....
