LEGOLAND!!!!!

We did it!! We made it to Legoland! It was pretty amazing to see all the lego creations; 9 foot giraffes, miniature whole cities (like Las Vegas, San Fransisco, Hollywood, New York, etc.), a 10 foot statue of Einstein's face, etc.

Here are the highlights....


A 12 or so foot dragon (all of legos!!)


This is one of those freefall rides that make you feel like your stomach is coming up through your mouth, anywho....Charlotte LOVED it and since there weren't any lines at this point we rode it like 4 times. The things we do for love...



These last two pics are from the airplane ride, check out Charlotte's face. Hysterical.

Luke battles Darth Vadar with light sabars (all legos!) Sorry I really can't get over the fact that people are smart & patient enough to figure out things like that. I DIG that sort of stuff.

So all in all it was a good weekend with lots of new experiences. John and I agree it to be a very valuable learning experience. We learned that we need to get out of town more. We learned that we don't do well at amusement parks, long lines, crowds and lots of waiting. We learned that the beach is a better day as a mini fortune at an amusement park. We learned how good it feels & what fun there is to be had at a hotel that really cares about it's guests (West Inn & Suites of Carlsbad).

The best part was the feeling of being together every second the whole weekend & what that does to the family dynamic. Bliss.
