A hidden paradise...

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

Today I took the kids to a hidden paradise where old historic buildings are and peacocks roam free. For those of you who live in San Diego you might recognize it as Leo Carrillo Ranch in Carlsbad. It is a unique little place. It's full of beautiful views. One of my favorite places was the stairs that led to nowhere...



What was surprising about this place was that it used to be a personal home. I kept thinking to myself it must have been gorgeous in it's day. It had so many buildings I'm not really sure what they all were. But they were old which was really neat for the kids to see. There aren't a lot of old buildings where we live so it was nice to be able to take the kids a few steps back in time.


One of the coolest things about Leo Carrillo Ranch Park is the peacocks. They are everywhere!! And a lot of them! The kids were able to get really close to them....when they walked slow....which didn't happen very often.


We even watched one munch on a flower...


It was lovely to be able to escape for a few hours. I hope you all can take a little escape in your week too. 



With love,
Becca

Love this part "...when they walked slow... which didn't happen very often." Ha! Looks like a really pretty place to spend the afternoon!
