the ritz life.

after a wonderful week in utah, i got to come back home to take care of the sibs while the parents ventured off on a weekend getaway to celebrate my grandparents' 50 years of wedded bliss. after i played mom on friday and made lunches, cleaned the house, and hung out by myself while the kiddies were at school, we got to head up to half moon bay and stay in an extra room at the ritz-carlton. no big deal. it was a beautiful weekend and i love having time to just hang out with my siblings. i love them all. we had a blast and we took the ritz by storm.
