Legoland Day

This morning the energy banks for all were a little less than full after a long day at the zoo and playing in the pool.  Sara made breakfast (eggs, bacon and toast).  Grandpa left his glasses at the Zoo, so walking around in sun glasses taking a little ribbing.  Tablet time in the morning for the grands....grandpa will never get used to the stuff kids are mesmerized by.

Then when all set about 9:45 we made the trek to the back gate.  We had a back of park entrance so no parking, etc.  Line was a bit slow and took over a half hour to get in.  From there we road the Deep Sea adventure and then the Dragon roller coaster.  We continued to work our way around the park until it was time to grab lunch after the boat building adventure.

Lunch was all you can eat Pizza and Pasta that all gave a thumbs up.  From there back to the trail of adventure around the park until it was almost dark.

Grandpa and John headed out early to get seats for the Chiefs game at the pool, but ended up back at the room since no seats or TV available.  The ladies and kids went to the pool with the goal of getting us a good seat, so at half time the guys joined while the grands swam with all the new friends from the resort.  After SMORES and a Chiefs loss (boohooo) we drove the quick ride back to the room.  Grandpa hit the sack first with everyone to follow.

First Full Day

Grands woke  up at 4:30 a.m., but did go back to bed for awhile. Wyatt wanted to go to the gym with Grandpa so John also decided to go so they left for the gym a little later and they all had a great workout. Sara made a great breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, bananas and cereal after they returned. As we left for the Scripps Aquarium around 10:00 there was a A little rain but it stopped before we arrived.  The aquarium is located in the University of California, San Diego in the La Jolla area. We spent a few hours looking at a lot of beautiful fish.  The view on the back side of the aquarium had a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean where we took a family picture and spent a little time.  They also had a play area that the kiddos enjoyed. We were ready for a late lunch so with a grandpa detour to Torrey Pines for a photo we drove south looking for a lunch place.  Grandpa took us ...

Travel Day to San Diego - Carlsbad

Image
We picked up John, Sara, Wyatt and Morgan at 5:30 am.  They were all ready to go, loaded up the truck and off to MCI to catch our 7:40 am flight on SW for a direct flight to San Diego. We landed 9:15 am and off to the rental car pickup for our white minivan. This puts grandpa back in his daddy days of driving a mini-van and it works out great for plenty of seating and cargo area for suitcases and backpacks. First thing was to find a good place for lunch and we definitely found one in the Gas Lamp District.  The Rockin Baja Lobster with an open window seat.  Luke was our server and did a great job with chips, in house salsa and good food.  Wyatt's chocolate milk was awesome and all the food tasty and on time. Before lunch we drove around San Diego a bit and spotted the USS Midway on the agenda for a tour later in the week.  Huge yachts and sailboats, Pacific ocean view first time for Wya...
