Day trip to northern San Diego


Last Saturday, some of my church members (bridge group) and I had a day trip to Northern San Diego. We had BBQ lunch on the Harbor beach of Oceanside. The fine meats prepared by our photographer Ko entertained us more than enough.

Although the weather was still a little bit cold, I enjoyed the nice view and smell of the ocean. After my move to Valencia, I'm missing the beach more and more. The first impression of the Harbor beach was a cute and silent but it must be different mood in a busy day of summer holiday season. The only problem was the weather. This day stayed almost cloudy all the time except few moments of sunny time. We've been there about two hours and couldn't stand any more because of the coldness.


Before the sunset, we decided to move to Carlsbad to tour the famous flower field which was the main purpose of our trip. It is an attraction of the northern San Diego and there were lots of tourists from all over the place since it's the season flowers bloom.





The flower field tour was funnier more than I expected. Actually, it was proposed by the photographer Ko and I could get the reason while everyone's enjoyed over there. Even though we've had lots of BBQ meats (beefs, porks) and fruits at lunch time, the flower trip made us tired and some ladies started yelling for the food! So, the dinner which wasn't part of plan instantly set up. I decided to bring them one of nice restaurant of San Diego, the Beach house.

Everybody had fun time at beach house and we had less than an hour to move to the last schedule of our plan, the Ballet. This ballet watching was proposed by me since Milky always talked about how much she loves ballet and there hasn't been any chance to do watch it together.
