Oh, how lovely it was! I felt like waltzing through the flowers and singing "The Hills are Alive" with arms wide open. Too bad it was incredibly crowded! I'd do it if I was alone - probably. The
weather had blessed us with a clear sunny sky, albeit 90
degree temperature. I could say, "It's such a beautiful day," over and over and it still wouldn't be enough. The drafts of gusty wind cooled us down wonderfully. Many times I've had my hat fly off my head and I'd have to chase after it.
After
our 19-hour drive to Seattle, WA last year in December, this 2-hour
drive to The Flower Fields in Carlsbad flew by like nothing. Well, I was
mostly super excited about seeing the flower fields for the first time
(and the beautiful oceanic drive along PCH). For the past couple of
years, we had always said we would go, but somehow something always came
up or we would be so busy with our lives that we’d unfortunately forget
about it. I was adamant about going this year
though. I was not about to miss this opportunity again! It is open
seasonally from March to May so timing is crucial.
Since Phil's BBQ in San Diego was only 30 minutes away from The Flower Fields, we had to stop by for dinner. After our lively romp in the fields, we were ravenous. BBQ ribs and colossal beer battered onion rings was all we could think about and nobody does it quite like Phil's!
P.S. I'd love to try Texas BBQ one day, though. To this day, I'm haunted by the fact that I never got to try it despite spending a whole week there!
