2015 Best of Ranch & Coast: Diversions
San Diego Zoo
Favorite Tourist Attraction
We appreciate this treasure. Others come great distances to visit for just a day, but we enjoy the zoo year round, celebrating exotic babies and new exhibits. (www.sandiegozoo.org)
Belly Up
Nightlife Spot
You love this live music venue in Solana Beach and keep a close eye on their calendar of indie rock, reggae, hip-hop, blues, folk and jazz events. (www.bellyup.com)
Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club
Private Golf Course
Limited to Covenant homeowners and their guests, this rolling course, built in the 1920s, is lined by mature oaks, sycamores, and eucalypts. (www.rsfgolfclub.com)
Torrey Pines
Public Golf Course
Another reason we love living here: a 36-hole public golf course on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean with hang gliders floating overhead. (www.torreypinesgolfcourse.com)
Zoo RITZ
Annual Gala
Rendezvous in the Zoo is the best annual gala because it brings out the party animal in each of us — and we love the magical setting. (www.sandiegozoo.org/ritz)
Redfearn & Associates
Event Planner
Redfearn & Associates provides event planning and consultation services for every aspect of your event — from venue selection to creative planning, design and décor to production, and even talent buying. (www.redfearnassociates.com)
Paper Source
Stationery
When it’s party time you rely on Paper Source for the best invitations. The stores, in Carlsbad and La Jolla, are also a good place to find personalized gifts and craft supplies. (www.papersource.com)
Raphael’s
Party Rentals
We trust our weddings and other special events to Raphael’s because they always deliver — on time and just what we expected. (www.raphaels.com)
Adelaide’s
Florist
Their sidewalk displays are so gorgeous that we go there even when we don’t need to buy flowers or send an arrangement. (www.adelaides.com)
La Jolla Cove
Place to Get Married
It doesn’t get more scenic than this: the world famous Cove and adjacent Bridge Club in Ellen Browning Scripps Park. (www.lajollacovebridgeclub.org)
