Whoa! I had sooo much fun last weekend with my family. We went to visit a place that I've heard sooo much about yet haven't had the chance to visit til now...The Flower Fields in Carlsbad, California. Who would have thought that such treasure of a place is practically located at my own 'backyard'! But alas, I have had the chance to visit it, and boy was I a happy camper! Here are some pictures I took from the place...

| There's me and my niece... near the entrance. |
 |
| Most aren't fully bloomed but pretty nonetheless! |
 |
| These little flower shrubs surround the Sweet Pea Maze. |
 |
| My Mom's fave orchids: Cymbidium |
 |
| Ever popular during Christmas, the Poinsettia |
Although only 45% of the flowers bloomed fully due to extreme coldness this past winter, it was spectacular nonetheless. My niece, in particular, was just tickled pink with the flowers and the people she saw there. She also danced when a local band played some hickory-dickory music... Again, we had a blast!
On our way out from the place, we stopped to buy some freshly-picked strawberries from the outside stand and had some strawberry shortcake, too!
I sooo recommend you guys to go and visit the place. It's a treasure trove of flowers and arts & crafts... AND, it's also right next to the Carlsbad Premium Outlet Mall!!! Men might not find that last bit of news as great as women would though...hahahahaha! Last weekend was only 45% [bloom] but I'm pretty sure by this next weekend, or perhaps the next one to that, would be just about perfect. Heck, I'm thinking of maybe going there again around that time, too! It's certainly worth a second... a third [and so on...] visit.
