We spent the weekend relaxing at the Four Seasons Aviara, a lovely resort in Carlsbad, just north of San Diego. Not sure if it's the proximity to Legoland (the entrance is only a mile or two away), but there were VERY young children EVERYWHERE. Upon entrance to the reception area, children were running and screaming so loudly that I did not hear the desk clerk ask me if I was ready to check in. Screaming kids were also very prevalent at the swimming pool area - so much so that there is a restricted "16 years and older" pool and spa area for adults nearby (pictured above), but the children didn't stay out of there, either. The whirlpool spa in said "quiet zone" was overrun with 5 to 8 year olds on two different days, and I even saw a young father dipping his diapered infant into that spa! I did enjoy the drinks served poolside, though. I ordered a Capirinhia that, instead of lime and mint, contained big chunks of watermelon and tasted like soda water. At first I thought it was pretty gross, but at $7.50 a pop, I did not want to waste it, so I slowly drank it as we lounged. I guess it was worth the money, because when I finished it I could no longer feel my legs. The spa treatments we had were very nice - the peppermint scrub helped restore the feeling back to my legs, and later we went to a flower field and reveled in the glory of the blossoms. Oh yeah, the hotel had giant chocolate Easter eggs in the lobby that the screaming brats were tearing at like wild animals.
