In search of a much needed break, we left our beautiful home and headed for a different scenery with an artificial but comfortable hotel, an unreal beach and oceanfront, and a hot spa. We relaxed at a Courtyard Hotel with no breakfast but had a microwave and refrigerator. The hot spa was even more relaxing. Finally, the walk to the beach, wading in the cool waters, and of course making sand castles made the trip all the worthwhile.
