Costa d'Este Trip

Pictures from a quick trip to Costa d'Este Beach Resort & Spa in Vero Beach, Florida. I Met mom there for a couple of days following Conga Bash '09 The hotel is owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan and includes many personal touches. I wish we could have stayed longer, the place is beautiful and everyone on staff made us feel welcomed. Thanks to Monica for the great tour! Check out Oriente restaurant on site for some great Cuban food. Chef David does a great job.
