Weekend Wanderlust
Warriors
If you are like me, my head begins to think of the weekend right
about Wednesday afternoon. As soon as
the mid-day meal begins to sink deep into the belly, my mind will begin to
drift to where I would much rather be at that moment. That usually involves me, my car and the
open road.
Being a mom of a six year old, the ability to just “get up
and go” has become a thing of the past, but what I have been able to do is
create “adventure days” and have become an avid Weekend Warrior.
What does that mean? Very simply, I have learned to tap into
my inner gypsy and utilize my weekends for exploration and travel.
Being able to travel by car allows for me to
bring my daughter along, as well as every favorite toy she swears she’ll need while
away for those two days. The added convenience of ample storage space, a wicked stereo system and full blue-tooth connection for my phone allows me to stay connected and prepared for life's emergencies, while enjoying the much needed disconnection I strive for.
You don’t have to travel by plane to experience luxury while
enjoying stunning views that would wow even the most avid of Instagram users. To satisfy my need for extravagance, I have
found a few locations that have been able to entice the likes of even the
Teslas' of the world to “unplug” for a weekend.
If it’s good enough for Mr.
Tesla, it’s good enough for me.
First on the list, The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay. From sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean to
the dramatic cliffs that the resort is housed upon, to the hotel resident
golf course and exclusive in-house culinary adventure at the hotel restaurants you can’t help but feel a bit posh just by walking through the hotels entryway.
If you are more of a foodie than a golfer, The Epiphany Hotel
hosts lofty ceilings with full-height sliding glass doors and spacious
verandas. For you night life, they
provide two signature restaurants that provide atmosphere and indulgence to wow all five of the
senses. A must try for all city
slickers.
These are just a couple of locations that I've been able to experience, but there are so many more to choose from, and all within driving distance from the heart of San Francisco. To see photos or to make reservations at these or one
