Tourists in Our Own Town

We realize we are fortunate to live in a town where people choose to come on vacation. We'd really LOVE it if some of our friends would like to come here on vacation, too! To entice you, I offer a few fun outings available for your San Diego visiting pleasure:

LegoLand

When we last visited LL with our friends Greg and Sybil back in February, we bought 'buy-a-day-get-a-day-free' passes. So this enabled us to return to the park for 'free' last week AND bring my friend Jill and Millie's friend Brynn along with us (thanks for leaving us your tickets, Greg & Sybil). Oh my goodness it was fun. Highlights:

Relatively scary ride (for my adventure-adverse girl) that got us all strapped in and then shot up and dropped down very quickly. I was in line and set to go with Brynn (roller coaster loving three year old) and who comes running around the corner to join us? Mils! She worked it through in her mind and decided to overcome her fears and join the fun. She LOVED it!

The crowd favorite...jerky airplane ride with Jill. We did this one a few times.

Moms' favorite: Apple Fries! OK. See what Brynn is holding? Looks like a french fry. Nooo...it's a fried apple stick rolled in cinnamon and sugar and topped with whipped cream. Yes, Millie, it IS finger licking good.

What I wasn't able to catch on camera but will always be a memory from this day is Millie's full body tackle of Brynn while waiting in line for the jerky airplane ride. She was just so overcome with happiness that she barrelled into Brynn, embracing her in a gigantic hug that took both of them down. At first scary to watch, then so sweet to laugh at!

Sea World

You all know how much we love it there. I got a pass for myself so now Si and I can join Julie and Mils on their Sea World adventures. Here's our recent trip:

Petting the Budweiser Clydesdales

Millie's favorite: "Dogfish Elmo"

The End: Post-Sea World Crash

Air Show

This one was a total bust. We tried to see these Air Race things down on San Diego Bay last week, but only ended up waiting in chairs for over an hour listening to the pre-race hype. We bailed when it started to get hot and ran over into nap time.

So come visit us! We've got the beach, fish tacos, loads of sunshine, great parks, and locals to guide your way!
