Legoland California

A while back Orin heard that there was this magical place called Legoland - he's been dying to go ever since. We had a plan in place for months and months and we were able to keep it a secret. On our way out of the US we stopped in San Diego to see Joel for a few days. The day we left we arrived we told the kids we had a surprise for them - they had no idea where we were going until we turned onto Legoland Dr and both boys freaked out. They couldn't believe they were actually going.

Miniland USA. It was really cool. I especially loved New Orleans.

One of their favorite things was being able to drive cars by themselves...and no track!

Then onto the Star Wars area. The boys were in awe!

Joel got the tickets on base so not only were they cheaper but we got a second day for free - which included the water park inside Legoland. We were all freezing so we only stayed a few hours. But I think the kids still enjoyed it.

Orin wanted to try on Uncle Joel's gear. It was SO heavy. I could barely lift it and I'm amazed that Orin could stand with it on! It was so great to be in CA with Joel, see his house and his life there. I hope we get to go back soon!
