San Diego

On Thursday we went down to San Diego to spend sometime as a family, it was a trip just for the four of us. We stayed down in Encinitas at a Days Inn. We got a great deal on the hotel and once we got there we saw why. It was a one bed room, we tried to upgrade to a bigger room but this hotel only has 1 bed per rooms, CRAZY. So we were very cramped but it didn't ruin our time. We went to the beach and then went swimming in the hotel pool on Thursday. We also went to a park and had "Training" for Christian. (I will explain later about this) On Friday we went to Legoland. It was great. Since we have been to Legoland a couple of times now we didn't need to run around and do all the rides. We were able to play more and see all the shows and exhibits. This is the first time just our family of four have gone on vacation and although it was a short trip it was still a nice little break for our normal.
Our very small room, Dan is standing against the wall and I was standing outside the door to take the picture.
Christian was so excited to take a picture with a Lego Character I guess all the times we have gone before we hadn't seen any.

Ryan was very active this time and didn't want to stay in his stroller at all. So it was good that we didn't go on very many rides otherwise I think the day would not have turned out so well.

This is one of Christian's favorite rides. It has 5 different levels of excitement they call it, thank goodness Christian is only tall enough for the second level so it spins you but not very fast.

This is one of the exhibits where the kids get to try and find crystals and gold. Christian loved it!

The last of these pictures were taken at a big play area that we haven't spent much time at but this time we were there for almost an hour. The kids had a great time.

They were playing Doctor and Daniel was the patient, Ryan thought it was so funny. Unfortunately, by the time I got the camera this little girl came in and would not let me take one with out her in it.

Okay, I have heard mixed reviews about Legoland. You guys have been a few times so you obviously like it...is it for all ages or better for older kids??? It looks like Christian enjoys it...what about Ryan? We'll have to talk! I'm glad that the 4 of you got to get away!
