San Diego, Legoland, and Oceanside.

The Monday after Dad's race we drove into San Diego.  We first stopped at the Mormon Battalion Museum.  It was really neat.  Before we arrived we looked up who in our family was in the Mormon Battalion.  Our kids have 3 4th great grandfathers that served.  So, it was neat to learn some California Mormon Family history!

Next we headed to La Jolla Beach.  We spent the rest of the day swimming and boogie boarding in the ocean.  It was lots of fun.  It's amazing how much warmer a few degrees feels compared to our Northern California beaches. After the beach, we headed to our hotel in Oceanside.  It was right on the beach and really fun!

On our way to our hotel we stopped at the San Diego Temple.  It was beautiful.  The architecture is so unique.   We are glad we stopped to see such an amazingly beautiful temple.

Then on Tuesday we headed to Legoland!  We spent the whole day on rides.  We stopped for lunch and got some really expensive ramen noodles, but we were so hungry it didn't matter.  After lunch we went to the Sea Life Aquarium.  It was super cool to see jelly fish, sharks, and sting rays so close.

 The real set of the Lego Movie!

The next day we spent at the Legoland waterpark.  We went on every slide and ride we found.  There were 2 roller coasters we had missed the day before so we finished up our Legoland adventure with those rides then headed back to the hotel.

 Mom went multiple times on the lazy river with Lily and Alex.

 Playing Sorry at our Hotel.

 That evening we went for a walk on the Pier and watched the surfers.  We finished up our trip at a Mexican restaurant.  Dad ordered our dinner in Spanish which is always fun to hear!

What a fun trip.  We love Southern California...we will have to plan another trip soon!
