Carlsbad is a beach town between Los Angeles and San Diego. It is named after the Bohemian town of Karlsbad (now Karlovy Vary in Czechia). Coincidentally, we visited Karlovy Vary a few years back and can tell you that looks nothing like Carlsbad. Apparently, the connection is that both towns are known for the quality of their water and both were spa towns. Nowadays, Carlsbad is more well known for its Legoland amusement park. We skipped Legoland but Mal did enjoy some body surfing in the Pacific which was surprisingly warm and inviting.
One of the great things about being on the west coast and having endless sunny days, is the quality of the sunsets. We had a beautiful walk along the beach with our son, Jake, and daughter-in-law, Kylie. A perfect way to finish a perfect day.
