This week I decided to have a mini getawayand take the train down to San Diego to visit my daughter.It was so much more fun than I even imagined.
Even though our train station is only ten minutes from our houseit had been years since our kids were littleand the boys were completely intrigued with trainsthat I have been on one.
I myself have always loved train travel.When I went to study International Business at NYUI took one all across country by myself.
This timeit was a short ride down south.I upgraded to business classand enjoyed every minute of my travel!
The seats were large with expansive room between.My car was so emptyit provided the perfect opportunityto finish my makeup and accessorizewhile having my coffee and being treated to most spectacular views!
I said this on instagram as wellbut if you ever find yourself in South Orange County CaliforniaI highly recommend taking Amtraks Surfliner down to San Diego.Sometimes the train seems like it truly just out of the surf line.This train has double decksso the views are from a perspective you rarely have access to!
Long washes of beachesare broken up with beautiful beach towns like San Clemente.
Being November the beaches are pretty much emptyexcept various spots populated by surfers braving the cold waters.
Ellis picked me up in Solana Beachthe closest stop to our destination of picturesque La Jolla!
As soon as we arrivedwe parked along the cliffsand were off in search of a brunch with a view!
We were directed to La Valenciaand made our way to the top.
Little did we know at the time we had stumbled into the iconicPink Ladywhich has been an iconic part of La Jollasince 1926.
I told Ellis I always head to a gorgeous hotelto ask the concierge for what I was looking for.It was another beautiful hotel conciergethat actually directed us to La Valencia.
It was an amazing brunch with mimosas and great conversations!
I was so impressed with the propertyI think I might need to go back for a longer stay!
We walked all the beautiful main streets of La Jollataking in the beautiful sightsas well as being on a questto find the perfect invitations for the up coming engagement party!
We were wonderfully successful in the Kate Spade Store.
The time flew byand a quick bite was had before it was time to catch my train once again!But we were ever so happy with our quaint little findwith yet another perfect view!I am always All about the View!
I am just so excited about train travel now!I can't wait to plan my next day excursion!It was not only so simple and easyno security of traffic to deal with ...
The views were so incrediblethe journey truly was a destination!
As always my friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
