Everything is Awesome!

[Can you see the mini-figures cleaning out Washington’s ear with a Q-tip?]

Our first full day in San Diego was a Big Adventure.  We got to take cousin Esther (age 17) with us on our first foray to Lego Land.  Not only is Esther a wonderful niece and has the enthusiastic loyalty of her 3 young cousins, she also made our party an even number—a happy benefit on a ride-centric day.

Legoland is a fantastic WP_20170816_11_07_51_Proplace to play!  The kids loved the drive-your-own car and pull-your-parents-up-with-a-rope attractions.WP_20170816_11_23_18_Pro

There were more to do than just our rides, and we tried to do it all.

Somebody (ahem, Esther) has a horrible tradition of leaving the soak-you-to-your underwear rides until the very end.  Sure, the lines are almost non-existent, but so are the warm temperatures.  It’s almost like 99.9% of the park’s attendance are smarter than us.  I have to exclude Dwayne though, partly because he doesn’t follow tradition on anyone’s say-so, and partly he went back to the Horrible Ride to wait to have his brand-new phone fished out from the itty-bitty pond it had drowned in 3 hours earlier.  Sigh, another story for a less sober time.

[Right before Dwayne’s phone took it’s final gasp on a suicidal jump for The Joust. Dwayne’s face is priceless in retrospect.]

Despite The Most Expensive Ride Ever, we had a wonderful Family Adventure Day!
