Carlsbad Flower Fields


Most of the year this hillside that overlooks the Pacific Ocean is barren. Well, not really, but that's how it appears. The Flower Fields actually continuously work the soil here so every March to May the flowers bloom beautifully for visitors. I take the kids every year because the ranunculus flowers are beautiful and there are some fun activities for the kids. However, the kids only remember and associate the Flower Fields with the visit when we took Grandma. We drive past this hillside often and they always point it out and ask something like, "Remember when we went there with Grandma?" So her visit this month was timed perfectly for this year's visit to the Flower Fields. We all enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon spent looking at flowers, running through a maze of sweet peas, mining for gems, riding the tractor-pulled trailer and checking out the special poinsettia and orchid exhibits.
