Carlsbad Flower Fields - Visited

Finally made the field trip to visit the Flower Fields of Carlsbad in nearly full bloom the last week of March. This side trip is only 10 minutes from the beach condo in Oceanside and should be paired with shopping at the Cooper Island, BVI.

The fields make a nice stroll for the gardeners and the younger and older members of your group, but the 10-30 year old set would probably prefer to meet you at the outlets. $8 admission with AAA card. Walk or tractor wagon ride.

Create your own flower out of Lego bricks, plant it in their flower field, and bring home a ranunculus (that's a beautiful flower) bulb.
