just because

it's love and today it's been 15 years.

Our family photo shoot by Jay last June.

san diego - day three

Day three was Legoland!   Friends had given mixed reviews about Legoland but I was sure our kids would enjoy it.  They love big, fast rides.  And they did, but here's my review. The park was only open from 10am-6pm, which only left time for about 8 rides.  We had hopper tickets but didn't use them since the Sea Life Aquarium is now in Tempe and and we have summer passes to Wet and Wild.  The park was clean and the food was good.  The rides however were less than I expected.  Enough for the girls, but none for Jack! He was only able to ride on one itty bitty train.  I felt terrible.  My fault for not checking the height requirements, I just assumed because he was able to ride so many at Disneyland.  Ava was a bit short for the tallest height requirements, so she pulled out the wedge sandals :) Thank you Target.  The girls thought the rides were fun, but short.  They love the big roller coasters over everything!  Overall we had a great time but probably won't return until Jack is 42". 

On our way home I broke out the handy iPhone to yelp  the nearest restaurants and found Pelly's.  Amazing fresh seafood.  Next time you're in Carlsbad I highly recommend you check them out. 

We made it home, tucked the kiddos in bed and took a walk on the boardwalk.  When we walked in the door Grammy was going on about the earthquake.  What? We didn't feel a thing! My 2nd earthquake (1st was on Easter) and haven't felt a thing.  Thinking back later that night it made sense why the pool we passed on our walk had large waves and no one in it....

I had the big camera along so not too many iPhone photos.

san diego - day two

Day one we drove, checked out the beach, ate dinner and crashed.  Day two we planted our butts in the sand!  The morning was sunny and beautiful. Lily learned to boogie board and loved it! Jack and Ava preferred playing in the sand.  Our place on Mission Bay/Beach was in walking distance to everything.  After having lunch and leaving Jack with Grammy, we headed back to the beach to catch a few more waves.  When the kiddos were clean and fed Scott and I went out on the town!  Thanks to Grammy we had more dates that week than we do in a month at home.

It's been a month already! I haven't been that motivated to blog, shoot or edit.  I'm just enjoying the last couple week of summer vacation.  So I'm going to be lazy and share San Diego through my iPhone :)
