San Diego

On August 20th -24th, we went on a mini vacation. I was supposed to be in Utah that week for 2 weddings and a baby shower but my doctor vetoed that idea. I wanted to do something as a family, though, before the baby came and the kid's life changed drastically! So we decided to go to San Diego so the kids could finally go and see Lego Land.

Here are a few pictures of our trip. You can see all the pictures on my facebook wall by clicking on the San Diego link under Our Trips.

Friday, we went to Lego Land

The kids had a blast and there was something for each one there.

Joey has been wanting to drive a lego car for so long and get his "driver's license"

He also got to see the real set to the Lego Movie. He was pretty excited about that!

Emma got to see Heartlake City which was a new attraction this year

And she was very brave and went on a big roller coaster with Joey and Daddy.

She screamed the whole time which was not good for the mommy, but I was happy to see that Mike was holding her hand.

Because of her bravery, she got to play a game and actually won this huge bear!

On Saturday, we went to Oceanside Pier and to Old Town San Diego

We ate lunch at a fun 50's restaurant at the end of the pier called Ruby's Diner.

Old Town San Diego was really fun. So many fun shops to look at restaurants to try. 

We went and toured the Mormon Battalion Visitor's Center and the kids got to pan for gold.

We ate dinner at a really yummy mexican restaurant called Cafe Coyotes. And I finally got me some more Mexican Vanilla...yay!

On Monday, we went on a fairy and went to Coronado Island. That was a fun little island to explore.

We had fun exploring it on a Surey.
