![]() ![]() Unbeknownst to us, Spencer had upgraded us to the Presidential Suite no less! We ambled up the old-fashioned caged elevator (complete with attendant) to the top floor and were shown to the most enormous suite of rooms I’ve seen outside of Las Vegas. The Birthday Girl and her friends spy out the window of our Presidential Suite We had arranged for the girls to have their own room, with us parents adjoining them next door so we could keep an eye on things. Sophia and her friends were so impressed to have Spencer, our guest services attendant, escort us to our rooms. Just to see the look on her face when we pulled up into the valet driveway and disembarked into the grand entrance – well it was priceless.

Crossing the Coronado Bridge high over San Diego Bay, we descended into heaven. We piled four of her friends into the car with the rest of our family and set off for a luxury weekend of fun and games.

In brainstorming fun Sweet 16 birthday party ideas, we decided to throw her a “Suite 16” Birthday Party at an epic local icon, the Hotel Del Coronado.
