They arrived with Maddy offering a wet greeting, as she had just been swimming in the pool, all dressed to go into town following our impromptu pouring. Conversations were typical-what one does for work and fun, kids, wines, shared interest - golf, skiing, and wine of course when the topic turned to how they met. Paul and Leslie are the poster children for E-Harmony. Two perfectly matched, attractive people who just happened to GET ENGAGED AT OUR INN! Without sharing too much detail, Paul proceeded to say how he had been planning the romantic weekend since May. Leslie showed off her beautiful ring and mentioned how she was totally surprised by the proposal. They had danced in the room and were swept away by the magic of the moment. Needless to say, Dave and I were overjoyed and after they left for dinner, snuck a bottle of Champagne in their room.
The other guests of the weekend were equally delightful. A mother/daughter arrived to celebrate a recent graduation from UCSB and a birthday. Although they could only spend one night, they made the most of it. Terry flew in from Philadelphia earlier in the day and met Lauren in Santa Barbara. They arrived and sampled the Per Cazo Epi Telos on their patio and went into town for an early dinner. Scheduled for Sunday morning was an in-room Spa experience. Since the previous guests had already departed and they had the inn to themselves, we arranged for their treatments to take place in the privacy of the common area of the Inn. Imagine getting a relaxing massage creekside with the birds singing and gentle breeze blowing. I can't conceive a better way to start the day. They departed shortly thereafter for the rest of their journey up to Sequoia National park.
I will live vicariously through our guests and invite you to live vicariously through our experience "under the Paso sun."
