Box Canyon in La Costa, Carlsbad CA – Great Views, Dangerous to Visit  

 
I didn’t know much about Box Canyon in the La Costa area of Carlsbad, other than enjoying the great views from the crest on both sides where homes are clustered (Sea Point Tennis Club on the South). The views across Box Canyon from both sides are beautiful, as is looking down the steep hillsides 200 feet to the water far below.
 
And homeowners living along the crest have fabulous views to enjoy without being encumbered by other neighbors, and the possibility of seeing … (10 comments)

Breakfast, and especially brunch, is a popular activity it seems, especially on the weekends
 The Broken Yolk Café adjacent to the Starbucks in South Carlsbad is a popular gathering place for foodies on the weekend. There is both indoor and outdoor dining, and an extensive breakfast and lunch menu with just about everything you could want (carbs, protein, vegetarian).
Starbucks remains a popular gathering spot, but let's face it, their breakfast and brunch offerings are pretty limited, so if a good sized meal is on your plate for the day, The Broken Yolk way be just the ticket.

It's a pretty rare sight, especially in our area of Southern California, but Lawn Jockeys are still around. There are two, in fact, in my neighborhood in La Costa adjacent to the La Costa Resort. The one in the photo was all dressed up for Easter, as you can see -we walked by the other evening and it seemed appropriate to snap a pic, which inspired this post.
They are each perched at the end of the drive-ways of two homes across the street from the resort. I don't know the history but suspect they have been there since the homes … (7 comments)
