Legoland 2 Days in a Row





Everyone knows Legoland is my favorite park of all times...NOT. So, how did we end up there 2 days in a row? We heard from our pediatrician that a new park called Sea Life Aquarium, which is a part of Legoland, openend last Monday. So, we decided to go check it out. It cost us $20.00 a piece to updgrade our ticket from a 1 day Legoland only ticket to a 2 day park hopper. WHAT A BUST! We made it through the Aquarium in 40 minutes and were done. It was a little interesting to see some of the different types of fish, but not worth the $20.00. Nathan was prophetic at the beginning when he said, "We'll go through this and be able to go to Legoland and ride roller coasters when they open at 10 (40 minutes from when we started Sea Life)."

We did get a chance to ride some of the "roller coasters" before we decided to call it a day at the park. Lauren, Mia and Papa had just arrived in town and we went and had lunch with them. The picture below is the park behind the hotel that we spent the afternoon at.


Yesterday, we went to Legoland with everyone. Lauren was bored on the kiddie rides but loved the roller coasters, so we have two thrill ride kids. Mia and Papa had a great time and we were so thankful that they were able to join us. Every time we go on these park vacations, we wish they were with us, so it was very enjoyable to have them be with us. They really enjoyed it, but they were worn out by the time we left in the late afternoon.

Today is a rest day before we are off to Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm on Thursday and Friday. Lauren is going back to Arizona with Mia and Papa tomorrow.

Wave, toot or even stop by as you are passing San Onofre. You should be able to see our trailer about one mile south of the immigration checkpoint. Have Fun at the parks!

Aww, sorry about the aquarium disappointment, but it's great that Nathan got to ride more roller coasters. I can't believe Lauren loves the wild rides, too! Those kids sure take after mom and dad in that regard. I'm glad to hear Lauren had such a good time at Legoland.

Yeah, where are the pictures? Did you forget your USB cord?
Have fun in Disneyland! Stay cool!

Uncle Richard, we are planning on having a beach day on Saturday on our way from Anaheim back to Escondido. Maybe we could stop by San Onofre, visit with you guys and get our fill of the beach and sand. I will call you on your cell phone tomorrow.

It looks like you are having a wonderful time! We miss you! I have almost called Carrie on the phone but then remember that she isn't here. I love the pictures. How was the Disney and Knotts Berry Farm? Drive safely!
