We were planning a bit more of a big hurrah for our ten year anniversary... but a certain nameless baby had us reconsidering more of a local trip.
We went to the Viceroy in Santa Monica. Which, by the way is not all that impressive at all from the outside. But inside - very swanky. Service was very nice (though they messed up our bill in an extreme way - they then fixed it pleasantly though). Steve found a little package that included a bunch of little perks. We didn't even realize it was walking distance to both the pier and 3rd Street.
My big plan for the weekend was to try all different restaurants - i.e. not go for the chains we know. Success was neutral - not great, not awful. See? I do have reasons for my madness. Why waste the money and calories on so-so? Huh? huh?
Anyway I'd say the highlight of the trip was the hotel. It was just really nice. The beachside winds made for open "balcony" door days and nights.
