A Mini Vacation

It was a two day trip to a water park resort. We stayed in a hotel room for one day, and made two trips to the park that connected to the hotel. Since the trip was on our anniversary, we went to a very nice restaurant to celebrate after playing at the water park. Dh had his tender duck with truffle plus other side dishes. i had Ahi Tuna steak with truffle plus other side dishes.

for this short trip to a kid's place, i packed below two outfits. i wore these clothes last winter too. oh except for the scarf (the one in the picture is Etro), i brought my new Alexander McQueen chiffon scull with wings scarf with me.

it will be my last chiffon scarf though - it snags too easily! i have 3 snags on this new scarf already, and one of the snags was found when it first arrived in my house... they are not very noticeable, actually i probably will be the only person ever know there are snags on this scarf. but it does bother me in a minor degree.

  4. HI Rachel,

    sorry i did not get back to you earlier. actually i did not have a busy and fabulous holiday. it was the kind my husband wanted, a relaxing and quiet one. plus it was snowing non stop...

    no wonder i could not see my comment for your post right away. it was in wait bucket for you to filter. i totally understand the reason. i dont have to do that...yet. it is a plus side not to promote my blog. i think my readers are either family or friends online/offline.
