ShivShilpy 12th Wedding Anniversary

                                                         The Prasad just ready!


ShivShilpy decided to celebrate their wedding Anniversary in San Diego. We took advantage of our time share Hilton Grand Vacations and were able to get a booking for a two bed room suite at Ocean Front Sea Pointe Resort Carlsbad, San Diego. The location was awesome and we could have the wide view of Ocean from the living room it self.

Shilpy recommended for booking five days of Four Parks visits. Shiv's friend Pritipal Sethi synchronized his visit at the same time. Pritipal had another childhood friend visiting from Seatle. And we all enjoyed the Sea World all together.

Harvinder as meticulous as she is never forgot to prepare 'Karhah Prasad' on Dec 26 to mark the 12th Anniversary. She in fact brought a tiny quantity of ingredients to cook the same and family had an 'Ardaas' to Waheguru for the well being of the Kids and remain at the foot of Waheguru for the entire life.

So when we're on a vacation at a far distance from home, with Harvinder's help and Wahegurus blessings, we're able to celebrate with  usual prayers as a family.
