over the hill

Well, it finally came...and went.  I'm now the big 4-0.  I remember with perfect clarity when I thought that was so old.  Now it seems like nothing.  For heaven sakes, I'm still just starting my family!  So, in order to properly celebrate, Paul, Fiona & I along with Paul's sister Kate & her little man, Landon, went down to San Diego to explore all it's family style offerings...namely the SD Zoo, Seaworld & Legoland.  "oh, my goss!" as Fiona would say...what a blast!  And can I just say, I LOVE Legoland!!  I know this is considered blasphemous in many circles, but I think Legoland is better than Disneyland...especially for the younger kids.  It's certainly easier for the parents of the younger set.  It has so many rides that little kids can go on and the park itself is much smaller & easier to navigate.  I had never been before so when I looked at the map & saw that we needed to go clear to the other side, I thought it would take FOREVER! and wear out my poor feet, but no, it took like 3 minutes.  Awesome.  The food was good, the lines were not bad and it's less than an hour away.  AND, the season pass is less than half that of DLand.  Enough said, I'm sold. I can't wait to go back!
