Devin and I planned a week away from the freezing state of Minnesota February 11th-18th 2012. When we left the temp. was 10 degrees. Of coarse there were difficulties at the airport as usual for the Faschingbauer family. Our plane was delayed 3 different times due to technical difficulties with the plane, we pulled out and pulled back into the airport 3 times and never did take off. After 3 hours waiting in the airport and $200.00 vouchers we finally took off heading to the beautiful Carlsbad, CA.
When we arrived in our amazing condo looking out over the ocean, we were greeted with a wonderful gift basket full of delicious fruits and snacks for the week from my wonderful Aunt Debbie. The bed also had this cute little kissing bird/towel made up. What a great way to start the vacation.
Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort on the San Diego Coast
We started out our first day in California-Sunday at the cute little cafe near our condo THE DAILY NEWS. The breakfast was phenomenal, we had more than enough to fill us up.
We spent the day driving up the coast to La Jolla and Coronado. We stopped at a couple of the small towns along the way to check out the shopping and beautiful views. In La Jolla we took a cave tour along the ocean.
We had dinner this evening at Fresco's, a quaint Italian restaurant in Carlsbad.
We were so surprised to get a knock at the door and these beautiful flowers show up. Thank you Aunt Debbie for a Valentines Day surprise.
We spent the morning on Valentines Day walking through Carlsbad Village, looking in all the little shops and art galleries.
Devin surprised me with a wine tasting tour up the coast for the day. We took the Carlsbad coaster with a group of fifteen others to all the little wineries along the coast up to San Diego.
The first winery was a cozy little place about a block away from our condo Witch Creek Winery.
Our Last stop was in Old Town San Diego, a Mexican themed atmosphere. This was our tour guide along the way, she was so knowledgeable and taught us so much about wine
