San Diego

Phew! What a trip... so we went down to San Diego for a few days to get away. The original plan was to go to Phoenix, but the more we thought about it... there really isn't that much to do there. So... we decided to head down to Cali and do the tourist thing there (again-we love SD). We went to the temple grounds, to the zoo, went to Old Town, did Legoland, and hit the beach this morning.

The temple there is so beautiful! Lexi couldn't stop talking about how pretty it is. :)

Ava is really into animals right now, so she absolutely loved the zoo. She said her favorite was the monkeys (it was actually orangutans, the baby was playing and totally showing off.... soooo cute!). And Lexi said her favorite was the koala bears. They are so cute, but they were all sleeping when we came by.

Legoland is a really fun park. We had never been there before, so we didn't really know what to expect. Of course there is all the things made out of legos, which is absolutely amazing. Then they have lots of rides, a lot of them the whole family can go on. We didn't even get around the whole park, we ran out of time!

Old Town San Diego was a lot of fun too. I could have stayed there all day long! There is the coolest shops, buildings, and restaurants with a lot of history and Mexican heritage.

There were a lot of surfers out on the ocean this morning. I'm no surfer, but it looked like there were some pretty good waves! Lexi loved getting her feet wet and drawing pictures in the sand. Ava of course freaked out when she got her feet in the wet sand, but she warmed up to it all and started to draw pictures with Lexi.
