Quintessentially- Throw Back Thursday

Throw Back Thursday

Quintessentially

my letter Q for

Alphabe-Thursday

It's been a long while since I've posted for Jenny and after sharing this throw-back-Thursday post today with a new blogger I'm throwing it back in for my return.

     

A definite space where one explores without boundaries all the avenues before them, just waiting to be discovered at the turn of a every corner.

Quintessentially, place, is where we are, what we do with it, is up to us.

La Costa Resort and Spa

 November 2011

Carlsbad, California

So many inspiring water fountains led the way during our visit to sunny southern California.

Beginning from our Disneyland adventure

to La Costa Resort and Spa

where boutiques, of endless sources of shopping, delicious dining, golf, The Deepka Chopra Center and the La Costa legendary spa - awaits limitless and blissful explorations

all at your own pace.

Designed especially for you.....

For me, it's not just about the biggest roller coaster ride, or the most expensive diamond studded pair of tennis shoes you can slip into.

Or, that if you skip breakfast for a round of golf

you may see Tiger Woods

(because truth be told he really does golf here)

FOR ME, IT'S MORE ABOUT

The place itself.....

What a content place to wake up.....

The photo above is an early morning view from our private patio......

If you venture out during the early hours of the morning

you often discover the most unusual moments

waiting just for you.

In every place you may wander.....

....there is a place to enjoy.....

While the coffee brews inside our suite, I'll see if anyone else is searching for the morning's best kept secret.

Would you be surprised if I told you that it's also very exciting to explore like this just before the sun begins to set?

In this photo:  Evening was pushing hard to arrive.....

We all spent the day at the pool.

Where they have genuine sand

and it feels like being at the beach...can you believe it?

This is the place to be for me.

Just strolling about

every inch of this man-made-beauty rising within one of the most splendid places on earth....

until 

the BlueFire Grill

caught my eye!

I wasn't disappointed either!

I have a secret about my over-the-top server, and his over and beyond the call of serving!

On the evening before our flight to California my right hand got in the middle of a cat fight.

Yes it became infected and ....

My server noticed my swollen situation and asked what happened?

"Oh yeah, just a cat fight!"

We laughed, but he returned with a plate containing a bag filled with ice!

"Here maybe this will help your swelling!"

Imagine that!

Another priceless gift at this place

is

the Bird of Paradise Flower

It's almost as if they come alive with laughter as you pass by them

especially on the way to

....The Spa at La Costa where you can catch the day's feature or need a change?  How does your wind blown hair feel today?

But wait!

 Did I hear someone say it's tee time?

Sure, I heard you....but my hand is crying another story altogether, sorry.

So for this evening I'm skipping golf, for a tasty dinner at Legends instead.

...and after we wore out this day, it's time to turn out the lights

For a very good night's sleep... until the adventures of tomorrow......

Sleep tight!
