Despite COVID restrictions, we took advantage of Chloe's week of dog training and headed to the Ritz Carlton in Santa Barbara for a long weekend. Certainly not an adventure we could afford during "regular times," but we got a nice discount because of COVID (and also because there were no amenities - no pool access, no resort restaurants / bars, the spa was closed, etc. There wasn't even daily housekeeping services or trash removal. Not really a resort experience at all. But, it was a nice trip, esp. given our cool spring break plans got cancelled because COVID shut everything down).
Nevertheless, it's a beautiful property and we truly enjoyed the downtime!
