Have you visited the NEW La Costa Resort?

Categories: La Costa, Uncategorized

I live in La Costa Oaks, and one of my favorite things to do in the summer is to go to the La Costa Resort’s Spa and lay by the pool – complete with a day of sun, swimming, champagne, and a spa lunch!

As one of the premier resorts in the United States, the La Costa Resort put about $50M in renovations into the property in 2011 to ensure that they continue to offer the best amenities available!

With upgraded rooms, improvements to the pool, kids’ club, the spa, and the golf course, La Costa Resort has focused on remaining a top notch family destination – some times even being a local hang out for La Costa family staycations!

Due to the economy, and increased vacancies in high end hotels, this might be a great time to treat your family to a weekend of luxury – in your own back yard!  They are offering specials with some packages being as low as $325/night – including up to $280 in resort credits!!!!

For more information, visit The La Costa Resort.

San Diego Restaurant Week EXTENDED!!!

Categories: Activities and Events, Communities, Community Events, Community Favorites

YEA!!!!  I LOVE San Diego Restaurant Week!  Mike and I always grab at least one other couple and go do a restaurant that we would normally never try for a non-special occasion!  Last year, we tried The Butcher Shop in Kearny Mesa and Firefly in Encinitas for the first time – and loved them both.  Who ever would have guessed that The Butcher Shop would become one of our absolute favorite San Diego restaurants?

This year, we met up with some friends, and went down to Flemings in La Jolla at the Aventine.  It was FABULOUS!  The food was wonderful, and the ambiance was heavenly.

San Diego Restaurant Week started a few years ago as a once a year event designed to bring extra traffic in during the slowest times of the year for restaurants.  It has now expanded to a three times a year event – with many restaurants now making it Restaurant (Two) Weeks.  The next San Diego Restaurant Week continues through Friday, January 27th.

For those of you who have never tried it – I can’t recommend it enough. Select San Diego restaurants create a special three course menu – with their meal being either $20, $30, or $40 for your appetizer, entree, and dessert.  You always end up overeating – but you try so many things you might not have otherwise!

For a complete list, visit the San Diego Restaurant Week website.  Reservations are strongly encouraged, as many restaurants are full well in advance – especially some of the San Diego premier restaurants such as Mille Fleurs, Marine Room, and Bertrand at Mister A’s!

It’s that time of year again!  January is here, and we are starting to look at our health and fitness.  Although, if you’re just getting into a fitness routine, we hope you aren’t planning on running in the Carlsbad Marathon or the Carlsbad Half Marathon tomorrow!

Even if you aren’t running in the Tri City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon and Half Marathon, you might want to be aware of the event, and avoid certain parts of town.  Please click here for a complete list of road closures for Sunday.

The marathon starts at Plaza Camino Real on Sunday, January 22nd at 6 am, and the Carlsbad Half Marathon starts at 7:30 am in the same location – Westfield Plaza Camino Real.  The Health and Lifestyle Expo will be running from 7 am to 12 pm.  This is always a fun event – especially if the weather is good!

Finally – a more local pizza place!!!

Categories: Carlsbad, Restaurants

For those of you who don’t know, we live in La Costa Oaks.  We LOVE our neighborhood.  We have great neighbors, great schools, and are close to grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, etc.  But at the same time, one of our biggest complaints is that we can never find a pizza place to deliver.  How frustrating to live in an upscale neighborhood of over 800 homes, but still not being able to get a restaurant to deliver pizza unless we have ordered $25 in food (a little tough for a family of two, and a small dog)!

Crust doesn’t deliver yet, but it is supposedly in their plans.  Crust Pizzeria is located at 3263 Camino De Los Coches, in the Henry’s Shopping Center, near Stagecoach Park.  Their food is good, with upscale, gourmet pizza.  They are still working out some of the service kinks, but we’d still strongly recommend giving them a try.  If their worst problem is that they have been so successful and popular that they can’t always manage the busyness, that only speaks to the popularity of the restaurant!  We LOVE the Ana and the Monique (two of their red pizzas).

They host Happy/”Social” hour on Monday through Friday from 4-6 pm with food and beverage discounts.
