Sea Life

After our trip to Mexico, we planned on staying in San Diego for 3 nights, then the rest of the week was open to do whatever we wanted - maybe head up to LA since we were offered FREE tickets to Disneyland and Universal Studios by friends we went to Mexico with. I've purchased tickets to Legoland from Costco weeks before the trip and has told Aden about it. He has been looking forward to going to Legoland, VERY EXCITED about it. That's all he could talk about. So, our plan was to go to Legoland on Tuesday. We were pumped thinking we can escape crowds since it's a weekday. We planned on going for the full day. We got there and there's a huge sign that says Legoland is closed. CLOSED. I wondered if it was because of weather? We were escaping the Oregon rain by going to sunny Southern California...well the rain followed us. Not just sprinkles, but the full on storms that they haven't seen in years! Darin & I tried to pbe positive about it and kept telling ourselves that it wasn't too bad. Surely Legoland wouldn't close if it's raining - we're used to the rain. Well, it turned out that in off-season Legoland closes on Tuesdas & Wednesdays! Poor planning on my part, I just expected it to be open everyday. There goes our plans of only being in San Diego for 3 days...And yes, Legoland will close if it rains!



Let me tell you - the look on Aden's face when we got there and Legoland was closed. It was pure heartbreak and disappointment. He had big worried eyes and was close to tears! It made me feel so horrible! Luckily, Sea Life is right next door to Legoland and they were open. So that saved our day and gave us something to do indoors since the storm started to move in. Again I was so thankful at how great our boy was...no matter how excited he was to go to Legoland and our plans had to change, he took it in great stride and was happy to be in Sea Life. No tantrums at all - and we promised him that we WILL go to Legoland, as long as the weather will let us.
