Merry Christmas from San Diego!

We spent a whole week and celebrated Christmas in San Diego!
 Legoland Hotel was definitely a highlight of our trip, hotel created with lego kids in mind.

We loved their full breakfast buffet.
We got sun and snow in Legoland! 

80 degree pool all to ourselves. 

One of our many yummy meals in SD. 

Educational adventure at SeaWorld. 

Mama's favorite picture that she took of the big fish.

We have much to learn about Orcas. One day we'll watch the Blackfish documentary and talk about what's going on with animals in captivity.
San Diego Zoo is HUGE!
1 of the 3 pandas in SD Zoo - so cute! 

Visited Mama's cousins Derek and Kerrie who live in SD.

Hotel game nite - we beat the parents ... again! 
Our Christmas dinner ... all you can eat Korean BBQ

On the way home, Dada and Auntie Emi played in their alumni game.  We had fun watching them as the younger players were much quicker and athletic than them :)
Made it back from So Cal just in time for Christmas celebration with Mama's family. Thx for hosting Jacob!

5 / 6 are happy .... not too bad :)
Check out our new Star Wars loots - our biggest lego set!
