I had the opportunity to tour the Courtyard Marriott near UC Riverside and I sat with a group who also wanted a peek at the swimming pool and historic Peter J Weber House right next door. Courtyard guests can inquire about a tour, and through the window, we could see some housecats on site😻

Every year on August 31, National Trail Mix Day is celebrated.
Last week I had the opportunity to tour the Courtyard Marriott near UCR and take this poolside pic, and our goody bags contained 2 brands of trail mix 👍
