WEEKEND GETAWAY

Our destination checklist includes waterslides, s’mores, and an incredible view… Park Hyatt Aviara is recognized as one of the top resorts in Southern California and it goes above and beyond for the family-friendly experience with themed dive-in movies, pool activities, sports and treats for all.
On it’s 250 private acres, families can have a picnic, take in the scenic Batiquitos Lagoon with their digital walking and running maps, or select from yoga, meditation, fitness, culinary experiences, creative expression and more at Miraval Spa.
Plus don’t forget tennis, pickleball and golf! Ranked among the Top 25 Tennis Resorts in the world by Tennis Resorts Online, Park Hyatt Aviara Racquet Club offers five state-of-the-art tennis courts and four pickleball courts with stadium seating for events and tournaments. Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad is San Diego’s only golf course designed by Arnold Palmer.

The service at Park Hyatt is so inviting and they have fabulous guest touches like kid’s robes in the room, plush animals with the option to have your kid’s names embroidered and willingness to go above and beyond make sure your family stay is unforgettable.
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
Whether it’s water activities, hiking or the start of Fall sports… protect your skin when playing in the sun. Make sure wherever you go – to bring sunscreen with you. Tubby Todd Sun Kit is great to have in your beach bag, purse or swim bag. From sunscreen and sun stick to mineral mist and lip balm, Tubby Todd has got you covered. Our kids are at the age where they can start putting sun screen on themselves and Tubby Todd Sun Stick is great because it makes it easy for them to apply. The broad spectrum SPF 30 formula provides 80 minutes of fun in the sun. Their Mineral Mist is a non-aerosol sunscreen body spray that is broad spectrum SPF 50 formula and reef safe.
And then after the day in the sun is over, you need to make sure the sunscreen is off your skin. We love using Makeup Eraser. Make-up eraser is a reusable cloth that removes makeup simply by adding water. Using SmartEraseTM technology, these derm-approved, premium, patented, water-activated fibers work to remove makeup, oil and dirt from your pores – plus, they’re clinically proven to remove 2.5x better than the leading national brand of makeup wipes! Makeup eraser is great at helping remove not only makeup, but sunscreen too. Plus, they come in lots of fun collaborations like Minions, Disney and Hello Kitty, which make it fun for the kids to help keep their skin clean too.
BACKYARD HOSTING
Maybe you’ve decided to make your backyard the destination, you can keep the summer vibes with DIY hosting ideas. Our favorites include pineapple smoothies or coladas straight out of the fruit, complete with tiny umbrellas. And a party talker with a cake that is literally made entirely from watermelon and fruit cascading, throw a couple edible flowers on too!
Melissa’s is the best when it comes to produce. From organic mixed boxes shipped nationwide to gift baskets, wine or specialty items, this is a great go-to. Melissa’s Produce which is currently the largest distributor of specialty produce in the United States operating out of a 330,000 square foot facility located in Los Angeles. Outfitted with conventional and organic fresh fruits and vegetables, value-added goods, and a state-of-the-art CCOF/QAI certified organic packing facility, Melissa’s Produce has come a long way since Sharon and Joe Hernandez founded the business in 1984. We also love that the brand is name after their daughter, who takes an active role in the company too. Melissa’s Produce is also available in many grocery stores nationwide.
