Birthday Celebrations and Special Occasions at The Clement Palo Alto

- Leave a Comment

The Clement Palo Alto is a luxury all-inclusive boutique hotel that I have had the pleasure of staying at, now more than once. It has everything you could want and more! After having stayed there the first time, I thought it would be the perfect location to host Justin and Mason's birthday celebration. Since their birthdays are just a few days apart, what better way to spoil them then with a staycation. The Clement Palo Alto pulled out all the stops! They have a guest questionnaire that they send you prior to your stay and so in that questionnaire I let them know we were celebrating two birthdays. The entire staff was aware it was Mason's 3rd birthday just the day before we arrived so they made him feel extra special from the moment we walked in. They had a birthday cake waiting for after dinner and everyone sang ... Read more...

Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden

The Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden has been on my travel bucket list for so long and so when we planned our trip to Oahu I knew we had to make it there. I wasn't too sure what time was best to visit, where the iconic photos were I'd seen online and on social media were taken, or really anything about planning our visit...I just knew we had to check it out. The gardens open at 9am so since I wasn't sure how crowded it would get we planned on arriving first thing. There are a few parking spots outside of the gates. We decided to park ... Read more...

Visiting The Dole Plantation

One of our must stop places in Oahu was the Dole Plantation. We knew that Mason would love it. So much of what we did on this family trip was outdoorsy and so it was a nice change of pace to do something less strenuous. They have a number of activities to do including a Pineapple Express train tour, plantation garden tour, and pineapple garden maze. They also have the yummiest pineapple soft serve which we couldn’t resist getting. Mason ended up falling asleep halfway through the train ride. While that part was definitely for him, ...

Back to Preschool Style with the Gilroy Premium Outlets

As you all know, I love working with the Gilroy Premium Outlets. I have been partnering with them for the past few years and am so happy to be continuing to grow our partnership. Today I'm working with them on something special, Mason's first Back to Preschool style. Mason started preschool last year after he turned two and now we're getting ready for his second year at preschool! I always loved back to school shopping with my mom. I have fond memories of our back to school shopping trips and special outings to get me ready for the ... Read more...

Review: Northstar Lodge by Welk Resort

Thanks to my wholesale travel club we were able to book a last minute family trip to North Lake Tahoe. I got a killer deal on our hotel, Northstar Lodge. I booked a luxury suite for us and saved $135 off the lowest price listed online. It's addicting to search for deals and book trips, even if they're short. We did a three day, two night trip since Tahoe isn't too far from us. When we arrived to Northstar Lodge we were pleasantly surprised when they had upgraded our room to a two bedroom, two bathroom family suite. The room was ... Read more...
