This year with gas prices through the roof and a very busy schedule, we have decided to skip a traditional week long vacation and are instead planning on a few weekend “staycation” getaways that are only about an hour or two from home. The kiddos love Legoland and we plan on heading to Carlsbad for a little getaway in the next few weeks.

If you are looking for a fun family getaway, I wanted to share a package that is too good not to share! The Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa has teamed up with Metrolink to offer So Cal residents a fun and eco friendly deal that is perfect for that weekend escape! You can leave the car at home, jump on the train and head down to Carlsbad for a great time. When you arrive in Carlsbad, a complementary shuttle will be there to whisk you away.

The package includes a two night stay , round trip Metrolink tickets, two Adult LEGOLAND California Hopper Tickets, a complimentary in-room DVD player upon request, kid’s weekend activities through and all kiddos under 12 eat for free. Packages start at $229.00 and have to  be purchased 10 days in advance.The resort looks gorgeous and we’ve wanted to stay here for some time. It’s also happens to be located next door  to Legoland. You can’t beat the location!

I know this for a fact- Trains+Hotel+Legoland+Beach= Happy Family! My kiddos will be in heaven!!!
