It was worth the wait to celebrate my birthday over a month later. Yes, I know – a month is a long time! But, Albert and I found ourselves swamped with events for all of our three children nearly every weekend and time-sensitive construction projects needing my husband’s attention.
As you can imagine I was so excited to have Albert whisk me away for a romantic weekend getaway close to home! Thank goodness for our sweet friends who willingly adopted our children while we were away—coordinating child care for your kids without family nearby is often stressful.
Our stay at Lakeside Hotel & Resort was beautiful, relaxing and calming. The hotel is in San Marcos, California and is a hidden gem! The views of Lake San Marcos from our private balcony were heavenly. When the hotel guest clerk found out we were celebrating my birthday they delivered a complimentary wine bottle in the most beautiful silver ice bucket to our room. We had to decline as we do not drink. Later they came back with bottles of sparkling water to gift us! Love the exceptional guest service!
We enjoyed visiting different places in San Diego. But, most importantly the time we had to spend together alone was the very best part! Stay tuned for more about our Romantic Weekend Getaway.
