What’s Hot in Southern California :: Rancho Bernardo Inn
A few weeks back I had the chance to stay at the lovely Rancho Bernardo Resort Inn in San Diego for a night. I must say it is one of my favorite new places to stay!

With the temperatures still well in the 80’s, and the only color leaves we see are green or brown, we have to head…
