ISO: 6400 (thanks to the 5D for that)

50mm/1.4 (I love this lens!)

1/80 sec (any slower we may have needed a tripod or something very stable and creative)

I slept so wonderfully!  The Doubletree had an awesome breakfast and then we headed out for the main attraction and purpose behind Lettie’s gathering… The Camelback Spa  I’m sure I posted about this last year, as this is her birthday tradition.  We did a little exercise, relaxed next to the pool, ate at Sprouts (all while in our oh so comfortable robes) and then went in for our individual treatment.  Mine-a facial.

Lettie, it was glorious and so perfect.  Thanks for allowing me to join your birthday party.  Thanks for doing so much for us.  Thanks for showing me what a real spa experience is really all about!

(how are you feeling about all my links?  Its the way of the future and just trying to keep up.  no, I just made that up but maybe its true?)

Enjoy some photos (how many is too many?) of our 24 hour experience… (its lots and they are big on my new blog so it seems like even more but just laugh along with us!)  See special notes below:

1. I am trusting complete strangers (more often) with my camera

2. complete strangers like to be in the picture (check out the lounge one of our group-thought it was funny)

3. nobody was injured while jumping on the bed

4. notice how much energy is at the end

5. I hold my camera in a very strange way

6. the melting chocolate pictures were awesome but didn’t make the cut-too many to chose from

7. where is Monchichi? and the lounge looks orangish/pinkish…

8. somebody looks like Monchichi

9. we were quiet most of the time…  : )

10. Lettie attempted the pool and no her booty is not on fire on the last picture
