Please contribute to their Kickstarter today!

With the money raised, they plan to:

  • Create 1000 jobs in each city we launch in

  • Develop a user-friendly app to optimize routes and lower ride costs (the more affordable for you, the better!)

  • Partner with more after-school service providers like clubs, camps and learning programs

  • Increase the number of drivers so we can fulfill more rides for our Kiddie Commuters

  • Grow nationally and provide safe rides to all kids around the United States

If just 2500 people to give $25, they will reach their goal!

La Costa Resort July 4, 2019 Fireworks Show

by

The Fourth of July is a big holiday and La Costa Resort loves to celebrate! The La Costa firework celebration for 2019 is a full line up of activities for little ones and adults alike!

  • To start the day at 11 a.m. you may try the fun daily craft (patriotic theme) at the Athletic Club Patio.
  • Have a little lunch and then stop by the Coastal Events Center for some fun cookie decorating.
  • To cool off don’t miss the water balloon toss at the Sport Court, or the watersides.
  • My son’s favorite is the s’mores roasting over the open fire, but I assume pretty much any child is the same. Chocolate, graham crackers then add a toasted marshmallow who says no to that?

The evening comes to a close at 9 p.m. with the annual fireworks celebration, you will NOT want to miss the 20-minute fireworks extravaganza! The La Costa Resort has the best fireworks in North San Diego County!

If you live in the area like us, please remember to keep your animals indoors. To reserve a room or for more information visit La Costa’s website here.
