The Grande Colonial

The Grande Colonial has garnered accolades for the complete restoration of its polished mahogany paneling, brass fitting, and genteel library and lounge (as we did not go inside i will have to take the books word of this). (this building use to be an apartment hotel back in 1913). This historic hotel is a block from the ocean offers elegant romance. They are located at 910 Prospect St La Jolla, CA. (this was a beautiful drive to get to this hotel) Each room has a goose-down comforter and cushy bathrobes, just perfect for a lazy day and a reason to call room service. The streets are lined with tons of unique shops for walking and holding hands. You can stop in and have a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants or perhaps purchase the engagement ring at one of the many jewelry stores.

Oak Creek Manor -

Oak Creek Manor is located at 4735 Olive Hill Road in Fallbrook, CA (which is near San Diego)

Found on Page 193 of the book.

It says OAK CREEK MANOR's innkeeper are Austrian-born Johannes and

Ingrid Zachbauer, they took a southern plantation replica of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello estate and infused it with European Elegance. There are only 4 rooms to stay in (which i did not see anyone or any rooms). It has marble floors and high ceilings, the manor is decorated with art from all over the world. The manor sits near a sleepy creek (i didn't hear any water running but i did have to dodge cars to get my pictures) and is surrounded by fountains and gardens this place is ideal for a party for 2 which includes a lot of kissing. All the rooms have a private garden, whirlpool tubs and fireplaces. The book says that breakfast is included. As this place is nestled in Fallbrook off the beaten path I would probably suggest you hang out on the grounds for meals. For more accurate information and pricing visit their website at http://www.oakcreekmanor.com/index.html

(Lets hope someday i get to visit the inside of tha manor and not jsut take pictures.
