2016 called 📞 and honestly… she ate.

Easter weekend at Hotel del Coronado — Crown Room brunch, old-Hollywood vibes, and that extra energy we all had back then.

Yes, the same iconic hotel from Some Like It Hot. Casual.

These pics? Pure Snapchat era. Filters were wild. Memories were louder.

Also a core memory moment:

🎓 My son’s college graduation gift — signing + Hollywood experience after he put himself through college (Chico State). Proud doesn’t even cover it.

Life felt glossy. Time felt slower.

And we were really outside like this.

If you were there in 2016… you know. ✨

If you weren’t? This was the vibe.

Hollywood
1/30 Edited to

... Read moreLooking back at my own experiences during the 2016 Easter weekend at the Hotel del Coronado, I can genuinely say it was an unforgettable fusion of classic Hollywood glamour and modern celebration. The Crown Room brunch wasn’t just a meal; it was a gateway to stepping into a scene reminiscent of the film 'Some Like It Hot.' This iconic location amplified the ceremony, making every moment feel special. What made the experience even more memorable was the atmosphere of the Snapchat era — where vibrant filters and candid snaps brought an extra layer of fun and personality to our gatherings. It was all about capturing the essence of the present while celebrating past glories. The photos, although filtered and stylized, radiated the raw emotions and lively vibe we enjoyed. I also recall how deeply moving it was to witness such milestones amidst this festive backdrop. Graduations, like the one mentioned where a son earned his degree from Chico State through his own efforts, added a layer of personal achievement that made the holiday weekend richer and more meaningful. For anyone who hasn’t visited the Hotel del Coronado, it’s truly a place where time feels slower and life appears glossy — a perfect retreat from today’s fast-paced environment. Being there reminded me of simpler, happier times when outdoor celebrations carried a unique elegance and warmth. If you’re considering a nostalgic getaway or if you want to immerse yourself in a blend of Hollywood history and vibrant social energy, returning to the spirit of 2016 at Hotel del Coronado is a perfect choice. The hotel’s charm and the festive Easter ambiance offer a timeless escape that you’ll want to savor and share with those you love.

vulnerability is absolutely crucial to create and deepen your connections. when we allow ourselves to be truly seen - “flaws” and fears in all - we show others it’s okay to as well. and that’s where the magic happens. vulnerability isn’t a sign of weakness, it actually requires a lot of cou

The image displays the book cover for 'A Man Called Ove' by Fredrik Backman, featuring a man and a cat on grass under a cloudy sky. Overlaid text reads 'Honestly took my breath away,' with cartoon stickers of a pointing banana-like character and a smiling open book.
This image presents a text excerpt describing Ove as a curmudgeon with staunch principles and a short fuse, often called 'the bitter neighbor from hell.' It mentions a story and sadness behind his exterior, leading to an incident with new neighbors.
The image continues the text, detailing how new neighbors accidentally flattening Ove's mailbox leads to a comical and heartwarming tale of cats, unexpected friendship, and backing up a U-Haul, changing the cranky old man and his community.
