Below are some pictures from our current visit to Carlsbad, California.
This is such a beautiful area with exotic foliage and gorgeous beaches. The weather is almost perfect 12 months of the year.

We always enjoy walking the Batiquitos Lagoon Trail and recently discovered a hiking path through the woods there.

Beautiful beaches near Carlsbad.
The ever popular Poinsettia pickleball courts where you can always expect aggressive play with a lot of young people and usually a long wait. If you get hit with the ball here, no one stops, they just keep on playing. 😲
My pick for the best restaurant nearby with great food and service is Trattoria I Trulli, for authentic Italian northern cuisine. Five stars*****.
The beautiful Villa balcony view below. We don’t use the pool but its nice to look at.
We also don’t use the golf course as seen below, but again, lovely view.
A Fall display at The Forum in Carlsbad next to Anthropologie. Very dog friendly.
Finally, pictured below are our former neighbors Bob and Linda from Redmond Oregon. They stopped by recently for a quick visit. Two years ago they left Redmond and moved to Peoria Arizona. They just sold the Arizona home and now they will be living closer to us again, this time in California. Welcome.
Wow! Carlsbad is beautiful. Jim and I will have to visit there some time. Thanks for the suggestions.
Those are cute pictures of you all!
We’ll see you soon.
Hi Suzan & Gary – these photos brought back fond memories of our visit with you in Carlsbad just a few years ago! (fall 2017). It’s a beautiful part of the world & your photos are wonderful at catching the various textures. Glad you are enjoying again.
