Greetings from the Northwest!
Got out the real camera to try to take some good pictures at swim lessons and realized I’d never downloaded pictures from June-August of last year. That’s what using an iPhone camera does – makes you forget what a real camera is! So here are some pics from a year ago!
So we went to San Diego and LegoLand for spring break in April, and I’m finally getting around to posting the pictures. Looking back we had a really great time. We found a wonderful hotel right next to Balboa Park, and had a wonderful day at the zoo. The zoo was incredible, and the girls loved seeing a pygmy hippo, and lots of other aminals. The park also had a carousel which was a first for both girls. Diana loved it right away, and Helen switched from loving it to being quietly scared. But she kept wanting to go back.
We spent a hot day in Old Town San Diego and had a fun time seeing some old stage coaches, and pretending we were in “the olden days,” even paning for gold. The Em dragged the family to the Hotel Del Coronado, where they filmed “Some Like it Hot.” The girls had so much fun at the beach that even the grown ups got to relax a bit.
Then it was off to LegoLand. We had decided to stay in the new (as in it opened 2 days before we got there) LegoLand hotel, which was the best decision of our lives. The hotel was amazing! It was very kid-focused, which made it so easy for us! The girls loved meating the life-sized characters (which was a bit of a surprise since Diana had been a bit afraid of folks in costume before this). They got to go on rides, and DIana got a LegoLand drivers’ license for completing their driving course. A good time was had by all! Hope you enjoy the pics.
