Legoland.
We bought a two day "hopper" pass for Legoland. We figured the second day could be a filler if it was super fun. The "hopper" pass includes Legoland, Water Park, and Sea Life. I didn't really want to do the Water Park today, and thought we could go back on the second day to do that if it looked cool enough.
Legoland was...okay. Kind of a let down actually. Is that bad to say? It is $100 a person, and I was definitely not WOWed. There was very little that I loved, and honestly we will never go back.
Things that I really did love...
All the cool displays of Lego creations...super cool.
The food was good {of course it is overpriced, that goes without saying}.
The Sea Life was definitely worth seeing, and it was a great way to spend some time cooling off.
I loved all the shops. They have so many Lego sets that are awesome. We ended up buying a couple of sets, because after seeing all the stuff they build out of Legos it makes you want to go home and build something.
Things we didn't love...
Their photographers were annoying! All the parks have them now. It makes it convenient to get family pictures, and at Legoland they actually have them taking pictures all around the park...not just at the front gate. We had been there like 3 minutes, and had already been stopped twice. I want pictures taken when I say, and that is why I bring my own camera. =) I did however get suckered into buying the picture package from them.
Most rides are total lamesauce. Van is into bigger rides now, and was bored. Vin was too small for EVERYTHING. Sooo...we went on I think 5 rides, and we were there the entire day. The best ride is Volvo Driving School, where they get to actually drive a Lego car...but they getcha with buying the $6 drivers license.
I was surprised that San Diego didn't charge for parking. Bonus points for them, because Legoland charged another $12 to park our car...booo!
After all is said and done, I am glad that we went once...and that my friends is enough for us.
We came back to what Van calls "the cabin", and I put Vin to bed. Paul took Van out on the town, and I ordered room service.
Life is good.

I'm sorry it wasn't all it should have been :(. Thank you for saving me some money, though. Now I know not to make Legoland a priority...
i've always wondered if my boys would like it. my nephew absolutely LOVED it, but he is the biggest lego kid ever so that makes sense.
Despite your less than stellar review, I'm going to have to make a trip there anyway. I served my mission in Carlsbad and my little boy is crazy about Legos like I've never seen. I'll set my expectations low though. Yay for room service!
I've heard the same thing from a friend that recently visited Legoland! I've just been reading upon your whole vacation! How FUN! So glad you've been able to get away with your cute little family!
Hmmm good to know, I think if we go to San Diego we will still have to go there and check out all the cool things that are built with Legos, seeing as my boys LOVE Legos....
LegoLand is cool enough to see once, but that's about it. And I didn't realize tickets are that pricey now; ouch! I think if we hadn't been on a sort of tour that took us there, we wouldn't have gone.
Hopefully you have more fun from here on!
Holy Moley, I can't believe how pricey Lego Land is!! I've been catching up on your blog, seeing all your vacation pics. I'm happy you had such a fun family trip! Those are some great memories you've created.
