Hooray for Carlsbad!

We spent most of last week at the Hoyal's timeshare in Carlsbad. It was so nice to be away from the never ending work that needs to be done around here and just have FUN! We took full advantage of having Daddy with us 24/7 and were constantly on the move. Here are some of the highlights:
Legoland!
I would totally recommend Legoland for anyone with young kids. As long as your smallest child is 34" tall, they can go on most of the rides. Tanner was tall enough for all the rides and loved going on the roller coasters with his hands up!






Bathtime
At the condo, Ladd made a monster bubble bath in the tub. If you add just a little soap to a tub with jets, the bubbles never end. Great fun for Tanner, but a little too much for Hunter!

Balboa Park
We went to a few museums at Balboa Park in San Diego. If you ever go to San Diego, you are missing out if you don't visit Balboa Park!

Birch Aquarium at UCSD
On Saturday we didn't really have any plans, so we thought lets just drive down the 5 freeway and we'll find something. We had tons of options, but ended up at the Birch Aquarium. Lots of hands-on exhibits and what a scenery!


We also spent plenty of time at the beach and the pool. We also found some hiking trails for Tanner to try out his new coveted hiking boots. It was a great trip and all of us were a little sad to leave. But, we'll be back next year!

We've never been! I must take a trip next time we're in CA. Reed wants to live at Disneyland though he's only been there once. I should ask him which ride he wants to sleep in. That Legoland looks like a great place.
