Our Story

During the month of February 1984, I met the love of my life in San Diego. We were both Navy students at the Naval Training Center.  After two months of dating, we became engaged without knowing where we would end up after leaving San Diego.  God was on our side because exactly a year later, on February 9, 1985, we were married in Hawaii, where we were both stationed. 

After creating many wonderful memories along with our two beautiful and wonderful grown children, Matthew and Melisa, Michael and I fast forward exactly 25 years later, back to San Diego where it all began.

Since I booked our flights, I gave Michael the responsibility of making our accommodations.  He kept the location of our accommodation a secret, and I assumed we would be staying at the Del Coronado, where we have always stayed when we visit San Diego.  I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the US Grant!  We were always pleasantly greeted by your wonderful staff, who made our four day stay truly enjoyable.  Attached are just a few photos that proves how much fun we had staying at the US Grant.  We plan on staying at US Grant again, hopefully soon!

Thank you for being a part of our 25th anniversary!  Happy 100 years anniversary to you as well, and here's to another 100 years!

Cheers,
-Maggie Sanders
