Happy Sunday and Daylight Savings day! I hope you all remembered to add an hour this morning. I always remember to push the clocks up this time of year by remembering “Fall Back” to rewind the clocks in the Fall, and “Spring Forward” when we loose an hour. Changing the clocks is the first indication of the changing season, and I love it!
A couple weeks ago I shared my Spring Bucket List {see it here}. On the top of that list was to visit a flower field, specifically the Flower Fields in Carlsbad. We’ve been planning to go as soon as it opened for the season in March. Since John has been traveling a lot, he was going to take a Friday to spend with us so we bought tickets! Unfortunately, it was torrential downpour that day so our plans were literally dumped on. But the rain cleared yesterday and we made the 55 minute drive South. It ended being the most beautiful day, made even better by the amazing array of vibrant colored flowers. We got there a little early, so for a little while it was just us and the rows and rows of fresh blooms! It was simply breathtaking. I just wanted to run through the fields. ha! Except it was kind of dirty and muddy. So maybe next time.
Tickets to enter were $14 and they have everything you need to make a day of it – a refreshment bar, kettle corn and a playground for the kids. The fields are only open to the public until May 8th….go visit! Its actually kind of amazing what natural beauty will do for your mood so you definitely won’t regret it!
As for the outfit, I’ve been dying to wear this Eliza J stripe shirtdress to a fun outdoor adventure. The collar is sophisticated, and the full skirt reminds me of “I love Lucy” which instantly makes it amazing. And if you’ve visit this blog any other time before, I’m sure you’re already aware of my love for stripes. I think its now my favorite Spring dress.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
