Estancia La Jolla

 

I was lucky enough to be one of the several invited to attend Estancia La Jolla's grand re-opening where executive chef Kimberly Kramer served an endless amount of greasy yet delicious bites, the open bar poured wines from Trinitas Cellars and guests floated around grassy patios while listening to local tunes from Israel Maldonado. I was surprised by the sheer volume of participants, gourmet entrees and decor (it was like a perfectly planned wedding, with floral arrangements in pink and waiters offering bubbly and bite-size apps) but it was great to see the hotel & spa shining again.

Play time

A few weekends back, I got to play tourist in my home town. After driving up early on Friday morning, Santa Barbara introduced new colors with an evening at the Four Seasons. The perfect weekend started with a tour at the famed hotel.
