We started our summer off with a fun spontaneous trip to Southern California. We bought a new mini van the last week in May and it was just begging for a road trip! We took along Stephanie and Trinity as well, since they hadn't been and we had two extra seats.We left on a Sunday after church, where the speaker spoke of simplifying and not going on Disneyland trips, or something like that. Bah humbug!
We drove to Las Vegas the first day, and got there at night.
We spent the next day in Vegas playing in the pool and walking around some of the sights on the strip. On Tuesday, Stephanie and the kids and I got up early and drove to Legoland to be there in time for opening. David flew to Northern Cal from here. We spent a fun day in Legoland. We were just here last August before our Mexican Expedition, but there weren't any lines here today and we got through quite quickly. We were even able to spend some time at their new aquarium that we hadn't been to before. We spent this
night at the Oceanside Worldmark Condo. Stephanie and I were able to go out for a grown up dinner on the beach and we picked up pizza and a movie for the kids. Everyone was happy.
The next day we got to the San Diego Zoo when it opened and spent a few hours their including the bus tour and the tram ride. Then we booked it to Sea World where we spent the
afternoon. We managed to see all the shows and exhibits at Sea World before it closed that day! Woo Hoo! We drove to Anaheim that night to another Worldmark Condo.
The next day we spent at Disneyland. We have decided that the last week of school is a great time to go to So. Cal. No lines! We practically walked on to everything! We cruised through the park and had a great time!
David flew back in town this night. He had been in New York in the meantime, as well. We spent Friday at Disneyland and California adventure as well. We hooked up with Jon & Erin and girls and had a princess lunch at Ariel's grotto. Today was more crowded than
the day before, but it was still a lot of fun.
Saturday was Nathan's 13th Birthday! We spent the day at Universal Studios. Dora the Explorer wished Nathan a Happy Birthday! This park was quite disappointing compared to Islands of Adventure in Orlando. We went on most of the rides / exhibits and then were on the road for home at 3:00pm. We made it back all the way and got home around 3:00 am! What a week!
