Carlsbad

Is anyone a fan of Huell Howser? I can't remember the last time I watched him. Maybe when I was nursing. Anyway, he travels up and down California looking for "California's Gold." I remember seeing an episode on the flower fields of Carlsbad and thought that some day I would like to go see them in person and take some pictures. I think the only way to do that place justice is to rent an airplane or helicopter and take an aerial shot. We went camping in San Diego county. We planned on going to Legoland one of the days there. I knew that if we went to Legoland the first day they'd practically shun me at the thought of visiting flowers after that, so I scheduled this for the first day. We also got them recyclable cameras so they were pretty excited to visit the ranunculus. Personalities sure did come out upon receiving the cameras. Carter was practically done with his pictures before we left the campground. Avery and Kenna were a little more conservative about it but still ended up being done by the first day. Jacie had allotted 2 for the campground, 3 for this, 4 for the flower fields, etc... Although she showed the most promise, she did end up using them up quicker than what she planned but lasted longer than the rest.
