The Grand Life: Sar and Gar Visit - Ritz, Brasserie, Hospital, Rum Point

This starts out as such an innocent post: Ritz, Brasserie, Hospital, Rum Point...wait, did I say hospital??? Oh yes, I did. Wait for it, I'll explain.

Thursday

Sarah and Garret spent Thursday night at the Ritz (yay for a ten year anniversary!), so that afternoon we got to use their facilities. Including the ladies' jacuzzi and spa. Luxury times ten (don't worry, the boys got some quality male bonding time in the men's spa room).

Friday

Friday we did lunch at The Brasserie and then saw "What to Expect When Expecting" at the Camana Bay theater (two thumbs up for the restaurant and movie).

The food at The Brasserie was delicious and super fresh. Apparently they have a garden out back where they grown their own vegetables. I loved the mini pineapple on the table - it's in water, so I'm assuming it's a real thing?

Saturday

Saturday was Sarah and Garret's last day. I was so happy when I woke up and it wasn't raining. It wasn't exactly blue skies, but the sun was out! Since Rum Point is an hour drive, we did our best to get an early start. We made it to the parking lot and then poor Sarah shut her finger in the car door. I rushed her to first aid, where the guy was super calm and helpful, cleaning and bandaging the cut. He suggested going to the hospital to get it checked out, so back in the car...45 minutes to George Town.

After about three hours, Sarah was checked out and had her prescription. They did an x-ray and couldn't tell if it was broken, but put it in a nice splint. It was about 3:00 pm, and after the luck they'd had, I said we should do whatever they want for the last bit of their vacation. Amazingly enough, Sarah wanted to go back to Rum Point. Even more amazingly, Brent agreed to the drive!

So four hours in the car for two hours at Rum Point. But Sarah got to lay in the hammocks by the beach, which is the one thing she really wanted, so it was worth it.
