August 19, 2013 by crayonsandcroissants

We recently spent a lovely weekend in San Diego and while we expected to enjoy our trip,we didn’t realize just how ideal this quintessential California coastal town would be for our family vacation. We stayed at the stunning Four Seasons Residence Club in North San Diego. I cannot imagine a hotel that could be more perfect for spending a relaxing vacation with kids.

I used to struggle with keeping everything in my (ahem) overflowing diaper bag separated and easily accessible and I knew there had to be a better solution out […]
