This is just too much for us! Everyone's favorite over-70 hotelier Bill Marriott has just turned 76 and he commemorated the occasion at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn, a property that's been in the Marriott family for over 40 years and is the place for the Marriott gang's annual Spring Breaks.

On this trip, Bill celebrated his bday with a lemon daffodil cake by chef Laurent Touroundel, (pictured above) who will open a BLT Steak restaurant in the Camelback soon. In fact, the property is undergoing a pretty extensive renovation right now.

But that's not all. Aside from blogging, Bill Marriott has his own Flickr Account. Woot! Go Bill! You can flip through the photos of Bill's bday bash as well as some pictures from the past including what Camelback Inn looked like in the 1960s.

We have to admit, this is very brave of Bill to put himself out there like that and we appreciate that. Maybe when we get to be his age, we just won't care anymore either.
