Jesse and I had been talking about going to the flower fields, but we didn't know they were already open! He had the day off, so we decided what better day to go, than today? We started out our day having brunch at Cafe Elysa (AKA the best stuffed french toast ever!) Jesse was SO excited, to say the least. I had been once before and obsessed over the stuffed coconut french toast! It is so fresh and just, yummy! I ordered the coconut stuffed french toast, and he the strawberry. I got a standard latte and he ordered the "Milky Way Mocha". Jesse is more of a "I only drink black coffee, with occasional creamer" type of person; so, I encouraged him to try the mocha. He definitely enjoyed it. Here he is posing with his french toast. He was so excited! [Note: the lady in the background has a cat (full grown house cat!) in that backpack!] It was hard to focus on every word Jesse was saying, because that lady was having FULL conversations with her cat. Don't get me wrong, I'm a full-blown cat lady; however, I would never put a leash on it, like her, and take it to brunch with me. Or would I? Anyway, We also ordered the ham and cheese quiche, which i HIGHLY recommend, as well!!! YUM! Next, we walked around downtown Carlsbad a bit. Here's Jesse lookin' all dapper and stuff. I blushed when I just posted that pic there! We walked on the train tracks for fun, until the Coaster actually came! Lol. He wanted to take my pic, so I taught him how to use my camera, and he did pretty well! He was all proud of taking a close-up of a bee on a pretty flower. We walked down to the Carlsbad Village Art and Antique Mall and spent a good hour and a half walking around. It's HUGE! It gave us so many creative ideas! On our way back, we walked through the Carlsbad Chocolate Bar. They sell amazing individual chocolates, wines, and other cute knick-knacky things. We passed this cute, tiny church, took some more pictures and headed to the flower fields. If you aren't familiar, The Carlsbad Flower Fields have been around for over 60 years, as a tourist attraction; in San Diego. There are almost fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers, that are available to see for two months each year. All of the colors in the fields are so unreal, and even more amazing up close. And, without further adieus I present to you...The beautiful Carlsbad Flower Fields. [Random snippet: Lately I have been seeing this reoccurring theme of purple flowers everywhere I go. I noticed it at the flower fields too! It makes me happy because my dad's favorite color was purple!] Jesse and I both notice every little detail..you will see this through our journey! We both were obsessed with this arrow sign; so, naturally, he took a picture in front of it! We crack each other up! The flowers are in rows by color, but, we couldn't help but love the randoms that wanted to be with the pink flowers. I don't blame them! What an amazing and beautiful day it was. If you have a chance to go to the flower fields, I would definitely recommend it. Now, these are two of fav pics of the day! Can you say "candid"? Thanks for reading!! Until next time! Ciao!
