A Personal Tour of The Preserve - Carmel, CA
A Personal Tour of The Preserve - Carmel, CA
The first day of the autumn season, on a cool yet sunny end of September afternoon, my husband and I got to see first hand the beauty of this land. Exclusively for members only the land is called Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel, CA. We were able to get a personal glimpse of something hidden and pretty much unknown to many unless you are a local to the surrounding areas of Carmel, CA.
Santa Lucia Preserve has a long history of land conservancy and sustainability of its acres of redwood forests, wetlands, and grasslands. During our tour of this quiet and hidden gem, I was able to take pictures that I'd love to share with everyone. Below are a just few pictures of the premises of The Hacienda. We were also able to visit the sports center, the horse stable, and the beach. But for more detailed information feel free to visitwww.santaluciapreserve.com.
Many types of wildlife from mountain lions, turkeys, deers, etc. live and flourish in this amazing landscape. Towards the end of the day, the fog started to creep in and it was time to go back to the hotel. On our way back, we were lucky enough to see a couple deers along the road.
My Favorite Freebie of the Month:While attending the Sassy City Chicks Fashion Bash at Fort Mason Center this month, I was able to receive a free tote bag filled with goodies and sampled many types of sweet drinks from peaches to strawberries. I even truly enjoyed watching the other ladies receive free makeovers from makeup to hair as well as free spa treatments. It was definitely a unique night of fashion fun!
My Latest Frugal Discovery:Every other Friday night at the Fort Mason Center, a gathering of gourmet food trucks from Malaysian to Filipino to Mexican cuisine, heat up the night and locals flock to taste some of the most unique fares of international cuisine. It was an awesome experience! Prices for food ranged between $4 to $10. I found myself trickling over to the Vietnamese food truck and ordered myself a full course dinner with noodles, grilled chicken and salad all for $7.
