The kids did great on the trip out, which was last Sunday. I was having issues with our topper not staying closed though and we lost a suitcase about 20 miles out of town. Thankfully we noticed the shadow of something large flying off the top of the van and I was able to get the suitcase and strap that held the topper lid shut. The topper itself is securely fastened to the roof rack, but we don't have the keys to lock the top so I have to use ratchet straps to hold it down. Apparently my first attempt wasn't strong enough. I re-strapped it and we were on our way again.
Monday, we went to Legoland with the Ducusin family from Flagstaff. The kids loved spending a couple days together with their kids.
The kids spent tons of time in the hotel pool and spa. Every spare moment they were in the water. Micah even learned to swim without his lifejacket while we were there.
Tuesday we went to the beach with the kids. We had fun playing in the waves, building sand castles, and trying out the boogie board.
Wednesday we went to the San Diego Zoo. That was a very impressive zoo! We all had fun (even though Micah wasn't happy about taking this picture).
Thursday we went to Cabrillo National Monument. There was some great views of the ocean and a lighthouse for the kids to check out.
We also stopped by a place called the La Jolla Children's Pool. It's a nice beach that was cleaned up and designed to be a kids swimming beach on the ocean, but then seals took over the space and has become a tourist attraction. It was pretty neat to see so many seals outside of a zoo.
Friday we headed home and stopped by Lake Havasu City to check out the London Bridge. Apparently this bridge was brought over from London and reconstructed in Arizona. It's a nice city, but seemed like a spring break party town so we probably won't do any family trips there.
Of course we took a couple hundred pictures, so if you want to see more you can check out the PHOTO ALBUM. It was a fun trip, yet it's always good to be home :-)
