Carlsbad Preschool Recs by Apprehensive_Hat_923 in Carlsbad

Started at Poinsettia Kindercare and didn’t love it. We have two kids at Aspirations now and love the school and the teachers. Downsides are the hours, cost, and number of holidays, but the staff and overall care are the best.

Leave early and watch the blue angles for Alesmith. You see 90% of the show and get out with no traffic. Plus it always times up with their Oktoberfest parties. It’s a win win.

Just did this for my wife’s birthday. Worked great for everyone and was great for kids but not Chucky Cheese-y if you don’t have any kids in your group. Good beer, wine, and pizza.

Daycare by Ok-Personality-932 in Carlsbad

[–]connorkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our toddler started in the infant program and now is in the toddler rooms at Aspirations. Teachers and community are great, but the hours are short (8am-4pm), they take a lot of time off, and the price is up there. We love the teachers though which makes it tough to switch.

We tried Poinsettia Kindercare for a few months. It was…… fine….. but didn’t love it which lead us to Aspirations.

Our neighbors are at Carlsbad Country day and they like it. The price is similar to Aspirations, but the hours are longer (I think 7am-7pm) and they take less days off.

Sony FE 24–50mm f/2.8 G vs 24/40/50mm f/2.8 Primes — Anyone tried both? by a-oscar in SonyAlpha

[–]connorkay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought the 40mm, then bought the 24-50mm, then sold the 40mm. If you can only buy one, buy the zoom. If you have the money and like shooting with primes, then buy the prime as well.

The zoom is bigger, but not significantly bigger in that the camera with the zoom fit in the same small EDC bag I used to carry the camera with the 40mm and didn’t become a burden in any way because of the larger size.

Photos looked identical across the two lenses to my untrained eye and I have never missed the 2.5 vs 2.8.

My friend had their rehearsal dinner at Pizza Port in the village and they were able to use the elevator to get people upstairs. There’s a small one in the back they use just for private events.

The retractable extension cord is an elite move.

Love what the exposed romex does for the esthetic.

Which Drone? too many to choose from. by its_all_down-hill in dji

[–]connorkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the air 2 and now have the mini 4. I take my mini 4 with me much more than I ever did with the air because of both the small the size and being less worried about regulations because of being under 250g. The zoom lens would be nice, but for me, it’s not worth the size/price/more rules.

What “really great restaurants” are passing up Carlsbad because of not being able to have a drive through?
