Our Trip Part 1- Legoland

We made it! The drive was nice and easy- and we made it to Carlsbad in good time. We had just booked the cheapest 3 star hotel we could find on Hotwire, and ended up at a really nice Hilton right at the warf! It was perfect. We chucked our stuff in the room, and walked to the warf... Which took all of about 4 minutes. We saw all the boats and shops and then walked to the beach. It was the first time Jaxon remembers being at the beach, and he was in heaven. The weather was perfect for walking, not swimming...he didn't quite understand and was SO SAD. He and I will be going back to the beach this summer when we visit my brother, so I promised him he would get a chance to really enjoy it!



Really! This. Is. The. Life. I love those boys. Man, I LOVE THEM!

J So Excited...

I mean...REALLY EXCITED!!

A little too excited! HOLD ON THERE LITTLE BUDDY!!!

On the walk back we got dinner at a little shop on the warf. Hamburger for J, Clam Chowder in bread bowls for Dave and I... YUM!!! Of course Jaxon had to enjoy some Ice cream too...

The next morning Jaxon woke up at 4:45...yes...thats A.M.!!!! Unfortunately this hotel didn't have two separate rooms like the one we booked at Disneyland..so we were up too! Ahhhh well....Jaxon was what this trip was all about, so we were bound and determined to not be crabby. So up we were!
We packed up and headed to Legoland. Its was pretty empty and lots of fun!

I think this is MY FAVORITE PICTURE of the whole trip! I mean seriously! Isn't that the cutest thing ever?????

Like a kid again... (yes, Jaxon is in the boat with Dave, but you can clearly see who is enjoying it more...)

In the Lego shark...I think everyone who has ever been to Legoland has this picture..right?

After Legoland we headed out to Anaheim. We made great time, and headed straight to our FAVORITE RESTAURANT EVER! Pat and Oscars! It probably wouldn't be our favorite EVER if we could eat there when ever we wanted, but it's only a Cali joint...so we took advantage...we ate there every night for our 4 nights in Anaheim...eating the same thing EVERY NIGHT! Their breadsticks are the best I've ever tasted, and their lemon chicken Salad is...uhhh...THERE ARE NO WORDS!!!! Even Dave, who is not really a salad guy, LOVES IT!

PS- We were really proud of ourselves! We didn't spend a RED CENT at Legoland! We bought our tickets ahead of time at Costco, and brought all our own food! HURRAY!
