Headed to the races this summer?  The last thing you want to do is get stuck in the horrible traffic, usually even the off ramp at Via De La Valle backed up!  Not to mention the price just to park is $10 or $20 to valet.  Instead consider taking the train or the coaster to the Solana Beach Station.  From there you can jump on the free shuttle to the track.  The Del Mar Racetrack Shuttle runs every 15 minutes from the Solana Beach Station to the track.  The shuttle begins at 9:30 am and continues to meet incoming trains and Coasters until 4:30 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Returning to the Solana Beach Station from the track departs 15 minutes after each race.  The last shuttle leaves the track 45 minutes after the end of the last race except on Saturday because of the concert the last shuttle is at 10 p.m.  For more information on the free shuttle from the Solana Beach Station click here.

I know everyone loves going to opening day… the hats alone are sometimes worth it.  BUT did you know tickets are more than double on opening day?  The least expensive tickets are $4 but on opening day the price jumps to $10 or for Clubhouse seats which are normally $6, go up to $15.  If you are planning on going to the track on opening day be aware they are expecting record breaking crowds this year.

Visit the track on Thursday and purchase the Oggi’s Pizza N’ Ponies Special offer.  For only $11.00, patrons will receive: Stretch Run admission and program ($6.00), Stretch Run reserved seat ($5.00), Oggi’s Personal Cheese Pizza ($8.00), Soft Drink ($3.00) – A $22.00 VALUE, FOR ONLY $11.00 DOLLARS* –50% Savings.  Stop by your local Oggi’s Pizza and pick up a coupon for this great deal!  I recommend the Oggi’s in Encinitas because my brother Josh is the bartender there and he was voted best bartender in San Diego!  Ask him to make you a margarita, his are to die for!

The only other deal I found on tickets it is $39 for 10 clubhouse admission tickets, EXPIRED as of 7/24/11.

Good luck at the races!

Half off Facial & Massage!

Breathe Health and Wellness in Encinitas is my new favorite place!  Last week my husband was sweet enough to treat me to a massage and facial for my birthday, and I was in heaven!  Breathe Health & Wellness is so peaceful, relaxing and there is no better service!  Usually you are the only one in there, and you have the place to yourself.  Courtney did my facial and she was incredible!  Even days later I was amazed how soft my skin was, I highly recommend her!  Tracy did my massage and reflexology and foot scrub, I was so relaxed when my massage ended I didn’t even want to move.

This deal is through BuyWithMe, and it is only $49 for 60-min massage (therapeutic, deep tissue, sports, or pregnancy), plus a 15-min reflex-point massage & foot scrub.  Or $49 for 60-min Breathe Signature Facial, plus a 15-min reflex-point massage & foot scrub.
