Last year we went to San Diego and it was warmer, but still pretty cool compared to being inland.

Damnit I want to get pummeled by waves! And I'm not doing it numbed to the bone hahahah

Legoland is cool. It is more geared to kids but the nice thing is that the kids do not have to wait in the Q there is a play places in the Q where you can see the kids and when it is your turn the kids just exit at the head of the line. So no more fidgety kids in line.
The exhibits are fun and there is a really nice splash pad there.

X2 plus when a body of water is that big and it is always 65 degrees what would any intelligent person expect.


Well, for all the big talk from Californians, you'd think that the ocean is warm year round and the weather is always just warm enough to get you in it. :D.

For comparison, VA Beach was always warm when I went-- April through late September. I am not impressed w/ CA waters so far. :mad:


Legoland was pretty cool, except for the raping at the ticket counter. $67 a day for adults? And $57 for kids??? Oof. Luckily Tara gets a pretty sweet discount through JetBlue, but still. Anyway the park was awesome for kids. Totally geared to them, and no 'scary' rides at all. The miniature USA deal was cool-- Lego Vegas, San Francisco, New York, and especially DC were totally cool. I wanted to go see just that as a kid. :D.

Overall its probably not somewhere we'll come back to, but totally worth the trip once, kids are at a good age for it. :D For rides etc, I think Disney is probably better.

One thing I DO like here: people have been driving ok on the freeways-- no left lane retards and everyone has been driving at least the speed limit. Refreshing change from UT. :D

However, CA drivers have sucked in town. I am amazed no one has been hit yet.
 
Legoland was my kids' total favorite a few years ago (we hit Disneyland about every other year since grandpa lives in Orange County). On the way out, they actually stopped and said, "Mom, Dad, thanks for taking us to Legoland."

Luckily, a bystander called 911...

I love SoCal. I'd go there multiple times a year if I could. I'm mostly a city guy so I don't mind the crowds or traffic. Its sort of a trade off...If you want warm water go to Florida but east coast waves suck. If you want nice surfing waves go to the west, but the water is alot colder. Just rent a wet suit and enjoy the waves man!

When the traffic is moving, driving California freeways is a dream! Eighty MPH, lane etiquette, proper merging... I'm getting excited just thinking about it!
