San Diego

We took a 3 day vacation to San Diego that turned into a 5 day vacation. We saw all of our relatives that live there an went to a Science Museum/ Balboa Park. We planned on going to Legoland with some tickets my cousin gave us (Thanks Kris), but when we got to Legoland on Tuesday it was closed Tuesday and Wednesday. We had planned to go home to AZ on Wednesday, so this meant we had to stay until Thursday to go to Legoland. Luckily my grandma let us stay at her house an extra couple of days. It was perfect going there in the middle of the week, when most kids are in school (this is a great benefit of homeschooling - we take breaks when everyone else is in school). We rarely waited in a line and the few times that we did, we never waited longer than 5 minutes! Often times, we just stayed on the ride and they let us ride 2 or 3 times in a row since no one else was waiting. What a blessing of great family time that we really needed! We got home around midnight and all of our kids traveled so well. We read an adult book about Ethiopia, There Is No Me Without You, the entire way to San Diego and then they slept and sang most of the ride home to AZ.
