We spent most of last week in Carlsbad (north San Diego county), at the Four Seasons Aviara Residence Club - we bought a week's timeshare about 7 years ago and have been going there almost every year. Unfortunately, it's been getting more and more difficult to get the weeks we want, which I understand is a fundamental time share problem (particularly for those of us with school-age children).The upside is we get a beautiful large apartment, Frette linens, Bulgari toiletries (they switched from L'Occitane :( , great pool and fitness center, an extensive collection of DVDs and games, and Four Seasons service.
It takes close to an hour to get to San Diego proper, so we didn't bother going in this time - the furthest south we got was to La Jolla. But there's plenty to do in the north county, with the biggest attraction being Legoland. Alas, my kids are almost too old for that park, but we still had a fun time there. The coolest thing was that the Washington D.C. section of Miniland was set up like the Inauguration, with many recognizable figures!
Aside from that, we had many meals with old friends, went to the pool (where the kids were immune to the cold temps but I was huddled under a pool towel) and played some tennis. All in all, a nice little spring break for the family.
