Endless Spring Activities For The Little Ones (San Diego)

Monday, May 6. 2013

After the long winter months, we are sure San Diego is ready to peel back all the layers of clothing and finally find the chance to head outdoors for some fun! Spring time in San Diego is all about endless beautiful beaches, picnics in the parks and enjoying a languid time together with family and friends in a local attraction. Somehow, with spring in the air, the blossoms are out in full bloom while the animal exhibits in zoos and aquariums are also more active. 

 
Not only do photographers love places like The Flower Fields of Carlsbad and Anza-Borrego State Park, the kids will too! There is something about the splashes of color that the flowers in full bloom automatically puts the spring back into your steps. 
 
San Diego’s Seaword, if you don’t already, celebrated the birth of a new baby killer whale in February and is ready for the world. Apart from being the largest sea animal there is in the world, the baby killer whales are instant hits with babies, toddlers and little ones. 
 
Seaworld is not the only theme park celebrating a new addition it seems, because the San Diego Zoo Safari Park also welcomed a new baby southern white rhino the same month this year! Under the watchful eyes of its caretakers, the zoo announced the birth to locals and proudly told the world that the baby weighed an astonishing one hundred and twenty five pounds....yes, at birth. 
 
More recently, in the month of March 2013, Legoland introduced a new 4D exhibit called the Legend of Chima. The 4D exhibit is based solely on LEGO-made enchanting TV series of the same name. Chima lives in a land of mythical animals and they formed tribes over Chi, an energy can gives power to the animals, and the same power can be used to power their own vehicles. When the kids enter the exhibit, they will get the chance to join in on the battle and be surprised with the ultimate battle between Laval the Lion Prince and Cragger crocodile.
 
It IS spring time so, the San Diego is offering something fun for the kids too as they turn the zoo into a huge playground for the young ones through an extensive playtime program called the San Diego Zoo Play Days. Throughout spring, visitors can expect non-stop presentations, food features, opportunities to get up close and personal with the animals and also enjoy special activities featuring some of the animals in the zoo.

Cultural Casinos - Something Different (San Diego)

Saturday, February 23. 2013

The first thing that comes to mind at the mere mention of ‘vacation’ and ‘San Diego’ would be the beaches but did you know that the casino strips here in San Diego are also world class stuff and definitely deserves the same level of attention as the beaches. One may not like gambling or think that chances of hitting the jackpot is way too low but there are plenty of things to eat, drink and do in the casinos, so you don’t have to be interested in gambling to visit a San Diego casino. 

 
Just like the casinos in Las Vegas, the casinos are open twenty four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year. Some of the casinos also provide entertainment showrooms and live entertainment for guests who prefer to stay away from the One Armed Bandit. As we all know, entertainers and artistes often put on fantastic shows in casinos in Las Vegas but they sometimes make their way to San Diego too. For those who are interested, please hit up the casino’s website to find out who will be performing there when you are there before heading over. 
 
There is a difference between the casinos in Las Vegas and the casinos in San Diego....the casinos in SD are built on a thriving tribal region. The casinos reflect that. The cultural diversity, that is. The casinos in San Diego are run and named after each of the eighteen tribes living in San Diego. Running and maintaining the casinos is one of the ways the tribes thrive and make a living. 
 
One good example would be VIejas Casino which sits on Willows Road, a 1,600-plus acres of reservation land in Alpine county. The casino features more than two thousand different slot machines and more than ninety tables for all sorts of games, Vegas style. Once done with the gambling, visitors can take refuge in the Dreamcatcher showroom where people get to learn more about the tradition, belief and practice. In the meantime, there are cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, souvenir shops and concert venue too.
 
In the meantime, in Valley Center’s Harrah’s Rincon Casino is also a luxurious casino-cum-resort. Quite like all the other casinos, it comes equipped with a large number of machines and tables for the games but what makes Harrah’s Rincon different is the fact that it comes equipped with full service spa service, a pool and pool-side bar and a venue for business meetings.

Give Your Out of Town Wedding Guests Some TLC

Thursday, November 29. 2012

Have you seen those videos available on Youtube about wedding couples marching, dancing and whopping their way down the aisle? The thing about doing something out of the ordinary like that is that it takes a couple of things for it to work (and for it to be Youtube worthy)...and they are commitment, cooperation from everyone (and I mean everyone, including parents, siblings, elders, church and of course, the spouse), effort and creativity. If you have all the above-mentioned agreement, then by all means, go for it. The main goal is to leave something for your family and friends to remember your wedding by. 

 
If you don't have it in you to do something like that, there is another way to leave a good impression – and that is to give them the kind of welcome that they will have difficulty forgetting, especially those who came all the way from out of town or flew in just to celebrate your magical day with you. 
 
The key is to make all the essential things easy for them. Book their hotels for them, organize their San Diego party bus rental ahead of time, give them tips and ideas about locations and prices to expect or maybe even negotiate a discount for them. You don't have to cover the cost of the hotels, or spend them their every meal but a little effort goes a long way. If they have flown in from another country to be at your wedding, we are sure your guests will love it if you have someone get them from the airport with an airport transfer and then maybe, take them around on a short tour of the city after they have settled down in the their hotels. 
 
Last but not least, make something special like a gift basket to thank them for coming all the way to your city to celebrate in your exchange of vows. If you are looking for shuttle buses for your wedding guests, please feel free to take a look at our San Diego party bus rental packages and then pick up the phone to speak to one of our customer service representatives.

Mingei International Museum (San Diego)

Thursday, May 3. 2012

You may not believe that the Mingei International Museum in San Diego was built back in 1978 because of how great it looks on the outside but this non-profit institution has been around for more than thirty years. The founder of the museum is Martha Longenecker who was a pottery master craftsman and who went to Japan to further deepen her understanding about the art. She came back inspired enough to found this museum. 

 
The spacious forty one thousand square foot facility organizes regular exhibits and activities centering on pottery, toys, paintings, sculpturing and even jewelry-making; basically, this museum celebrates every artistic form of self expression and they make concerted effort to help budding artists grow in their art. Some of our San Diego party bus limousine rental customers love bringing college and school-going kids here to help them understand these artistic pieces of art on a profound level. 
 
Ever since they opened their premiere exhibition called Dolls and Folk Toys of the World, the museum’s been catching the attention at an international level. As this is a non-profit organization, Mingei also helps fun other social efforts like in 1997, Mingei helped complete, construct, design and equip Balboa Park Museum. 
 
Just like booking a San Diego party bus limousine rental package with US Coachways, it is highly recommended that you give the museum’s management a call if you are heading there in a group and need their guided tours.
