T stands for Travel

This week T stands for travel. My cup this week is a paper cup full of coffee.  We made a quick trip to the San Diego area to visit our youngest son and family, over this past weekend.  When it is just a quick weekend trip we usually stay at the same hotel, The Aries.  It is really a pretty place and Sunday morning I had gone down to get a cup of coffee and enjoy the sunrise.  Yes, there is a coffee maker in the room, but not the sun rise......LOL  I did run back to the room (well more like a quick walk) and grabbed my camera so I could share this pretty spot on a very pretty day. This first picture is looking into the lobby.

 

This is where I was sitting having my coffee, a little patio type area across from the lobby. 

Petunias in hanging baskets were glowing as the sun came up and through the trees

 

This red and purple basket was closest to me, love the sun coming through the leaves and the petals of the flowers.

I do believe these are orange trees in these planters, so pretty with the morning sun hitting them.

 This is the bench right next to the lobby door.  The poinsettias are potted and still blooming since Christmas.  We were here the first weekend of December and they were just putting up the Christmas decorations.  It was just gorgeous!  

This is the lobby sitting area, and my cup on the table.

This swan is a carved wood piece on the coffee table

 

This little guy guards the door, this statue is so real looking people always do a double take when they see him.

An old wooden Indian stands between the windows.  Love the hurricane lamp on the side table.  I used to have one just like it, many moons ago.

Around in back the sun hadn't quite came over the roof top of the hotel yet.  Just beyond the bank of rock and dirt is the freeway, but you can barely hear it, and can't hear it in the rooms at all.

This tree just fascinated me and I really took a lot of pictures of it, but  I won't share them  all.  It has smooth white bark.

When the branches are it looks like winkles in skin.

Here is the little water fall with flowers all around it.

This is the seating area between the waterfall and the hotel.

They even have a BBQ you can use if your a large group.  We have seen wedding rehearsal gatherings here using this area of the hotel.  They also book a lot of training groups and meeting too. 

The sun finally came up over the  roof top and lit up this little bird house.

By the time I took this picture of my now empty cup my feet were wet and cold from the damp grass.

 

So this is my Tuesday share.

What are you drinking this morning?

What have you been doing?

I only ask so that you might join us by linking up with Elizabeth and Bluebeard for T stands for Tuesday or.......well most anything you want it to stand for LOL

Have a great day
