California Vacation!!

We decided to get out of the heat for a couple of days and hit the beach!! Of course the 3 days we were gone were the days that the temperatures in Mesa dropped. Oh well, the beach was great! We stayed in Oceanside, California, and went to Legoland as well as played at the beach. It was fun, except that the boys and I got colds and were sniffling and coughing all weekend long! The head colds sure didn't help on the drive home either, resulting in lots uncomfortable ear popping. Hopefully we'll all be feeling better soon.

Legoland was fun, the kids enjoyed it. I especially liked the Mini-Land minitures, they were amazing! Looking back, if we had known about the sickness that was coming, we would have opted for Sea World. But now we have seen Legoland so next time we make a trip to the coast we will just hang at the beach!




The kids really loved all the fun rides at Legoland. We even rode on a few rollercoasters! Jillen and I rode on one that Tim and Jorden wouldn't even ride on! Girl Power!!! :) And luckily for Jorden as the end of the day we found the "Build Your Own Racecar" part of the park. That was right up his alley!

Oceanside was great, so laid back and nice. And it helped that our hotel was a mile from the beach. Although the hotel room was seriously the smallest hotel room we have ever stayed in! That part we would probably do differently. Squeezing 6 people into a hotel room/bathroom/closet that was smaller than our living room was not a fun experience, but I guess we can look at is as family bonding time! :)

All in all it was a fun time and we were sad when it was over. Now we can't wait for the next time we get to go play in the ocean!!
