We are SO excited at the news from Michael's middle son, Lavar, and his wife, Danielle.
They are expecting their first child, due this fall. Its always been hard to live so far away from our loved ones. Michael and I are both from Cleveland, and that is where most of our family still resides. We hope to get up there in Oct. or Nov. to greet the new grandbaby!! We'll post photos as we access them, even though WE aren't the sonogram photographers.
Enjoyed a relaxing night in Daytona Beach with the lovely Palombo sisters, Jessica and Danielle.
Roasted marshmallows at the pool fire pit with cute Shore's S'mores kit the hotel gives its guests;
walked the clean sandy beach to work up an appetite for breakfast; gorged on delicious cuisine at the hotel.
Cool that the hotel made amends for an out of order elevator by sending us a basket of brie, crackers, strawberries, grapes and a bottle of Chardonnay wine. Wow.
Clearly one night is not enough to unwind but I'm grateful for the moments with my wonderful daughters!
The Shores Resort & Spa is a hip and chic place to stay and is the only AAA Four Diamond Daytona hotel & beachfront resort. This Florida beach resort provides the best services and amenities making it a great place to host weddings and other events.

Our gratitude for the gift of life is always at the heart of our work.
