Grandma Laidlaw Story

T.C. tried to persuade us many times to come for a girls weekend at the Marriot, but life always seemed too busy. Then Kelsey called and told us that she and T.C. had been schemeing for her moms 50th birthday. Life went on… and then I got the phone call from Tece, who wouldn’t hang up without a date set, soooo we set the date and then T.C. had to figure out how to get his mom down to the Marriot without her knowing that her mom and sisters would be there waiting for her.

So here’s how the plan went. He told Becky that she would be having dinner with him in one of the rooms catered by a chef and she bought it.  We arrived at the Marriott, our bags were taken, then we were greeted by a Tall, Blonde, handsome young man, put together from head to toe. Next  T.C. took us to a Cabana and disappeared for a little while. Putting it into grandmas words, “he came strolling up with a big smile”, carrying poolside drinks with little umberllas poping out of them. We were feeling pretty special at this point.

After relaxing poolside, T.C. took us up to our beautiful presidential suite… a suite fit for a movie star, priced way out of our league, but thanks to T.C., it was no charge to us. The suite was as big as any of our houses, with a bath tub big enough to swim in, and a beautiful view. Tece was still smiling, and yet being very, “Take Charge and Professional”. Then we found our big fluffy white robes, put them on, and felt like Royalty, we loved being spoiled! His phone rang often, and we noticed how important T.C. was to the Marriott, and what a good job he was doing.  We could tell that everyone at the Marriott loved T.C.

Waiting in our robes, we hid and waited for the big arrival of the birthday girl, Becky.  She was surprised and excited as she walked in and saw us all. We crowned her with a beautiful diamond tiara!!  She looked like a queen. She even wore the crown to dinner and all through the casino, what a good sport!!  Our dinner was comped for us thanks to T.C., what a sweetheart.

We went back to our suite and next thing we knew there was a knock at the door. We answered it and there was a bellman with a tray holding our nightcap of milk and cookies! Wow!! What a way to end the night. The suite would have been enough entertainment and relaxation to keep us happy for days, but Tece had a much more relaxing day planned for the Redhead gang. Two of us started the day our with massages while the other two had awsome relaxing facials! We all felt like melted pads of butter after mmm! T.C. is always so thought ful and takes time to think of every detail. He knew aunt Sandra would not feel comfortable getting massage so he booked a for her facial instead, which made her DANG happy!

After that we were escorted down to get pedicures in the nicest pedicure chairs ever! We were in heaven. We just kept looking at each other and giggling. We didn’t think it could get any better  when here came T.C. with spiced hot apple cider for the aunties ( which is his favorite starbucks drink), and a strawberry dacquari for grams. Next we went into the spa and were handed” the famous slippers” that aunt Sandra loved so much,and he loved his aunt Sandra aunt so much that he arrived at our family Christmas party with a sack in hand. Much to her suprise, gave her a pair. In the spa we sipped water with lemon slices, ate fresh pears, and any juice you wanted.

We were all tickled when T.C. worked his magic and pulled off getting us an extra night in the fabulous suite! We ended the next morning with brunch that was fit for a king/ fifty queen!! what a memorable fun experience we will treasure forever because our cute T.C. we’ll never forget  our most pampered weekend ever.
