San Diego Trip

We recently took a trip to San Diego as a family to visit Lego Land, the San Diego Zoo, the beach, and a few other little things. We had a great time! The kids were both good on the plane rides, and slept well. Finley started sleeping through the night the second night we got there, and it has continued since we've been home. We put her down around 7 or 7:30 and then she wakes up somewhere between 7:30 and 8. We are enjoying being able to put the kids down now and enjoy a little peace before it's time for us to get some shut eye. So, the second day we were there we went to Lego Land. This place was GREAT! It ended up being our favorite attraction. There were animals everywhere made out of Legos and lots of rides that Bryson could ride. It was really geared towards younger kids.
The third day we were there we didn't have much planned, but we found a few things to do. We went to the San Diego aquarium, went to Seaport Village where there were a lot of little shops and restaurants as well as a carousel. We also went to Coronado beach that day, but it was pretty cool the whole time we were in San Diego, and so we didn't stay for long. We stayed to take a few pictures, get our feet a little wet, and get the kids in the sand for the first time.
The fourth day we were there we went to the San Diego Zoo. It was a great place, but we found it hard to navigate, especially with 2 young kids.
The last day we were there we had the morning to play around, so we went to Balboa park to play for a bit before returning the rental car and heading to the airport. It was the perfect amount of time for us and both kids. It was so beautiful there, but we wish it had been a little warmer. It stayed around the 50s to 60s the whole time, and was pretty windy too.
We also had a great surprise the night that we first got there. We were changing Finley's diaper right when we got to the hotel, and she laughed for the first time. Mike thought to grab the camera, so we got a few seconds of her laughing. Enjoy!

Awww... i can say that you've really enjoyed you trip to San Diego... I'm so happy to see such a Happy Family on a trip :) I've heard that there's another best Things to do in San Diego and that is to avail the "Go San Diego Card" which provides free admissions to over fifty five attractions and tours as well as discounts and special deals from restaurants, retail stores and other activities.
