| Friday the 3rd Mark and I started our vacation to San Diego. We stopped at the rest area and I took a couple of pictures of the ocean. (Oh I love playing tourist sometimes) |
 |
| We then headed down to the San Diego Zoo. Of course there was no parking so we parked at one of the far away lots and took a tram. |

| We got to see the snake having his lunch. |

OK, so it's been almost a month since Star Wars Weekend at Legoland California but I've been a little busy. But I did want to post so pictures from the day. It was again a fun event with Star Wars characters roaming around.
Yoda is my favorite, his "friend" did a great job with him.

There were also many displays from the different movies, they were well done, here are just a couple of my favorites.
Mark and I leave for vacation in San Diego on Friday, hopefully I'll be able to post a few pictures along the way.

| Tomorrow starts soccer, which will hopefully be a lot of fun for him as well. It will be fun for taking pictures!! |
On Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, Mark and I visited Carlsbad and Legoland. We also took the $9 tour of their aquarium, which was cute. I need to find out if I just paid the extra $20 we could upgrade our passes and still keep the monthly...
The park was really busy so we didn't do as much as we normally do, but then we'll be back on the 14th for Star Wars Weekend!

| Me, being a dork inside the fish tank! |
 |
| Something NOT made out of Lego!! |
 |
| Sea horses look so sad... |
 |
| These fish tanks were pretty cool! |
 |
| I scared all the fish away... :( |
 |
| Yes ladies and gentlemen... he came from an egg! |
Memorial Day weekend Mark and I headed south to see "my" dolphins. I hadn't been down there since August, which quite frankly is ENTIRELY too long.
It was also my first trip to SeaWorld with my very own Nikon D70.
 |
| Our first stop was Atlantis, which at 10:00 was a five minute wait. |
 |
| Then it was off to the Wild Arctic. The beluga whale posing for his picture. |
 |
| Polar bear in the water... he was having a great time! |
 |
| Like said he was having a great time playing in the water! |
 |
 |
| Too much fun! |
 |
| Then it was my favorite time... DOLPHINS!!!!! |
 |
 |
 |
| Oh ya... there's Bubbles and Shadow the Pilot whales |
 |
 |
| Saw this guy when we were at lunch at Ship Wreck Rapids Cafe |
 |
| Of course, I had to go to more than one dolphin show... it was a fun Saturday even though we didn't make it to the Shamu day time show. I'm thinking that I will head South on vacation in July. Maybe spend the 4th of July there. They always do a great Fireworks show. Maybe by then I'll have the setting figured out for fireworks! See more of the pictures from the weekend below: |

| Memorial Day Weekend 2009 SeaWorld |
Well, Thursday was our trip to Sacramento. All in all it was a good day. Except for the plane being late getting out of Sacramento. It was just after midnight when we got home. 
This was kind of cool, the shadow of our plane as we were landing.
The state capitol building. It was kind of nice that the senate was in session while we were there. We got to witness them discuss a pending bill and conduct the roll call for the vote, which passed.
Mark and Governor Arnold's bear outside the Governor's office.
The California Vietnam War Memorial. It's outside the Capitol building. It was nicely done.
Another statue from the war memorial.
Old Town Sacramento, and the statue for the Pony Express.
After lunch it was off to the Railroad museum. It was a quick trip through the museum. Especially since my group was anxious to get to the gift shop. :(
In an effort to keep the kids busy when we couldn't get into the Old Schoolhouse we walked to the other side of Old Town to see and hear about the Eagle Theatre. Never made it to the Old Schoolhouse. :(
One of the sites we saw from the buggy ride through Old Town.
Listening to little fourth grade girls scream "Eureka" at the top of their lungs.
Our last stop of the day was Sutter's Fort. It was interesting, there was a group of 4th graders there acting out the time period.
The boys had a fun time in the jail. Of course, so did Becca, but that's probably because Mark was there!
Amazingly, fast trip but overall the kids were great, with the possible exception of the airport. But 3 hours in an airport will make anyone crazy.
Today is our friend, Ron's, birthday. So he came to town with his son, Andrew, for a day at Disneyland. Mark and I met them for a day of fun.
It was a good day overall, not super crowded and not super hot.

| And after our trip to Australia we took a little trip to the jungle... |
