California

I went home to California to visit family and friends.  I'm so grateful I can go as often as I do to see the people that I love so much in the place of my roots.  I had a great time playing with friends for a couple of days in southern California, and then a really good visit with my mom and dad and other family up north.  No matter how long I live in the UK, I'll always be a California girl first!


A super fun day in LA with dear friends who always go out of their way to make time for me when I visit.  So lucky to have such wonderful friends!  I got to see parts of LA I had never been to before, and the best Mexican food this side of the border.  So good!  I love LA!












I got to spend another day with other friends at Disneyland.  It was honestly one of the funnest days on record.  Kami and I had a fun night at the Disneyland hotel the night before, then met Kari, Tammy and Lindsay for a full day of fun at Disneyland.  We ended the day with an amazing, special dinner at Club 33.  It was honestly the perfect day, one I'll never forget!  




















I was pretty lousy taking photos when I got up to the Bay Area, but I did manage to get one with my parents.  It was such a good visit.  Loved spending quality, one-on-one time with them, something I rarely get to do.

20th Anniversary in the Maldives

To celebrate 20 years of marriage we escaped to a magical, watery, sandy beach land in the Indian Ocean and spent a simply dreamy week in the Maldives.  The place is indescribably beautiful, every bit deserving of its fantasyland reputation.  It was simply a divine week in the most perfect place in the world with my favourite person. 


The view we awoke to each morning!  


Arriving at Male airport, then transferring to a seaplane for a 30-minute ride to our resort.  The experience begins when you arrive at the airport resort lounge.  



Ready to celebrate and enjoy a week in paradise



Our neighbourhood for the week




The spa!  So amazing, one of our favourite places on the island.  




The food at the many restaurants was divine!  






Beach Rouge



Our favourite spot to take in the sunset on the decks of Beach Rouge jamming to  . . .


the mellow beats of DJ Yara!



























Mixe, our daily breakfast restaurant.  Amazing buffets!  



The Wanderlust Library




Veli Pool









Room attendant tried hard to make our stay comfortable and special, but he hilariously got our anniversary details wrong on the room bed display.  It was the funniest thing ever!  


LUX South Ari Atoll you were simply divine!  We will be back!
