Sandy San Diego

Okay, just a few more San Diego pictures. Emma still pines for sunny southern California and prays often to return to San Diego and Legoland. Glad to know it all made a good impression.

I warned her before the trip that we were going to bury her in the sand and she seemed fine with the idea. In reality she wasn't happy about it, and one millisecond after this photo was taken she busted loose from the sand trap. But it had to be done, you know? Gotta be buried in the sand at the beach.

Couple more surf-frolicking photos.


On the way to Legoland we stopped for a few minutes at the San Diego temple, which springs out suddenly off the freeway as you're driving and takes you by surprise. It's so fairy tale-ish looking.




Emma got her face painted at Legoland. The whole face was twenty bucks; we sprung for half a face.
She zoomed down the big slide a few times.


And she and Baba took a couple rides on the roller coaster. I'm too chicken and queasy to go.

We'll move on to more mundane activities next post.

I love the gigantic slide! It looks like something out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. =)

Oh, good -- you buried Emma in the sand.
"Tradition!!!"

All looking at this entry should left click on the pictures and get a good look at some really great smiles on the part of all.
(Okay, except the buried in the sand one.)

Oh to be there! Em looked at Emma buried in the sand and said she did not want us to do that:) Legoland looked very fun.

What a fun trip - Emma will for the rest of her life be saying "I love the ocean!!" - I imagine you will be trekking there many times in the next few years.
Love,
