Coronado Island
The first thing we did was drive to the beach for Trey. He was so excited to play in the sand, even though the weather was only low 70s. Pretty cold for us Tucsonians!
After the trip to the island, I decided that is where I want to live!
Day 2 - LEGOLAND
With all the "Lego" video games, Trey was thrilled to go to Legoland. He got his first set of "real" legos for Easter this year and since then it's been all about "legos"!
The 4D show we went and saw, "Clutch Powers" was incredible! I didn't know what they meant by 4D until I was in the movie theater. Not only do you wear the 3D glasses, but when it snows in the movie, it actually snows in the theater. When water is splashing, you get splashed. When their is a car chase, their might be strobe lights going. It was simply amazing to watch!
Bionicles
Here you get to build your own lego cars and race them!
My favorite - the Lego World!
Las Vegas built out of Legos
Trey's favorite ride were the lego cars. He even got his Legoland drivers license after.
The area that Andee had the most fun, and probably Trey too, was the Duplo section. This section was geared for younger children and my kids loved using their imagination here.

Trey's first roller coaster, below was his reaction...
The Aquarium
Below is what shark eggs look like:
Lovin' the sunglasses, baby!
Day 3 - We met up with Brent's parents and went to Old San Diego
We went to the Mormon Battalion monument where we learned the history of the battalion and the kids got to dig for gold. Trey was selected to try on all the "gear" the battalion soldiers wore.
Day 3 cont... - We went to La Jolla Children's Pool which they created a man-made bay for children to play on. However, the seals decided to take over. The kids had a great time seeing the seals and then playing on the beach.
This squirrel kept asking Trey for food. Too bad Trey didn't have any with him!
Seals!!!
Andee HATED the sand on her feet and would raise her feet up, balancing on her bum, just so the grains wouldn't touch her.
Day 4 - Day 2 of Legoland!
Trey's favorite Lego creation... I wonder why!?!
Enjoying the Firework Show at Legoland
Day 5 - HAPPY 4th of July!!
We went to Moonlight State Beach in Encinitas for the 4th of July. It was packed with families and FREEZING! 64 degrees! However, that didn't stop the boys from playing in the sand and ocean!
Tic-Tac-Toe - Trey won!
Waiting for the fireworks! Our Bushman totem pole.
Day 6 - Maritime Museum
Me, being a history major, I always want to throw in some "historical" sight-seeing. This museum was a compilation of vessels sitting on the harbor from different eras of history. We spent hours there because Trey couldn't get enough of exploring these amazing ships & submarines!
Sittin' on the "john" in the submarine.
We took a ferry ride to see the cityscape of San Diego
It was hard to leave, but we had a wonderful vacation!
