Halloween Fun

Don't you just love dressing up for Halloween?  I never grow bored of dreaming up clever costumes and adorning my boys in fun get-ups (listen, as a boy mom, it's the closest thing I get to playing dress up with them!)  Here are some shots from the 2010 festivities!

2010 Top Get Away Spots

A (sometimes very enjoyable) part of my job as event planner for government conferences is to preview properties and conduct site visits for upcoming events. I have had the opportunity to travel quite a bit this past year and enjoyed some fabulous accomodations. Having completed a number of site visits and events, I can certainly give valuable input on The Loews Coronado in San Diego California, The Gaylord National in DC's National Harbor, and  The Tides Inn are among my top resort and spa reccomendations for 2010.

Each have their own flair and their own specialty. Whether is be the fine cusine or Mixology classes at the Mistral Resturant at the Loews Corondao, the well appointed luxy suites at the Gaylord National, or the first class Spa at the Tides on the Chesapeake these properties are top facilities for event hosting.  Attention to detail and in tune to the smallest touchessucessful event planning requires, these folks really cater to their clients.
