(continued from Ten Days of Summer: Part One)
Day Three: Sunday: Sunset Picnic on Moonlight Beach
We spent most of the day Sunday splashing around my parent's pool which isn't exactly a public destination (although I do recommend it!) and then later that afternoon picked up some fish/mushroom tacos and headed down to our favorite beach, Moonlight to dine on blankets as the sun set. Tres, tres belle.
Beaches are their most beautiful at dusk, much like people are. And Moonlight is the perfect beach for a picnic because the parking is plentiful and there are no steps. (There also happens to be a fantastic playground in the sand, just beyond the beach volleyball courts.) Of course, I'm slightly biased as I spent every summer of my youth frolicking along its sands but still. It's an amazing place.
Day Four: Monday: Hamilton Children's Garden at Quail Gardens
Fable with my Nana (who happens to be a rockstar gardener, herself!) at Quail Gardens
Told you we'd be here every day! Was not kidding.
Now that we have a membership, why wouldn't we spend every day there? Also, I forgot to mention that my late uncle Peter has a memorial bench on it's grounds with a view of the musical garden. Sit on it and think happy thoughts.
Day Five: Tuesday: Playwerx, Carlsbad
Okay so this place? AMAZING. It was our first time there and whoa. Kind of made me wish we didn't live so far away. An amazing place for children to play and parents to grab coffee, pull up their laptops and get some work done.
Located in a warehouse, the space is huge, airy and immaculate. Also, they have free wifi, desks for working within eyeshot of the entire space. I didn't bring my laptop, today, because I had Fable and was there with my mom and grandma, but next time? Totally going to bring my work. (Archer played for three hours and would have played longer if we didn't have to get home for dinner!)
I mean, LOOK at this play structure! It's better than the one at SeaWorld! I also love that it's family owned and operated.
