Recently we took a trip to San Diego with our dear friends, Leo and Mayra. We went for just a weekend. We took our overnight bags down south to a lovely hotel named The Lafayette. What a charm this hotel was...and my favorite part...so HISTORICAL! The Lafayette started off as a pool club in the 40s (I believe it was the 40s) and it's major supporter was BOB HOPE! When I learned that I almost died because of couse Albrech and are a huge fans of the big nose...I mean Bob! Right after we checked in we started to head up to our rooms and can you believe it...the rooms were themed after old artist from the 30s through the 50s. Of course we almost fainted we thought we were getting the Lucy and Ricky room, but we ended up with Grace Kelly. Good enough for me!
We enjoyed the night with a night cap at this cute little lounge next door...I forget the name now. The next morning we headed down to old town San Diego and enjoyed a rockabilly car show filled with classics, customs and motorcycles. It was a short but sweet weekend!
Oh wow - me and mine are meant to be going to the LaFayette soon. We are really excited for it!
