Zoe forgot that she had last Friday off and realized it only the day before so we planned an impromptu trip to San Diego to take Enzo to Legoland. The drive down was a relatively painless 90 minutes and even though Enzo had not napped when we arrived, he did really well. Unfortunately he was a little young for Legoland - either he was too short or too young for most of the rides, or just downright not interested.

He had a great time with mommy and daddy though. He loved the the area where entire cities were built from Legos. He did not like the first ride we went on which was a boat trip - we traveled under a bridge where a Lego troll was waiting - he turned to us, with his quivering lips and said, "I want to go home!" We had been there all of 10 minutes. We also visited a small Legoland aquarium that just opened - totally bizarre. Blissfully the park was pretty empty. He liked the big Lego shark head.

We stayed at the Sheraton within walking distance and he loved their pool. He spent a long time jumping in and out of the water. Ralph would let him actually jump into the water for a split second before he would scoop him out, and even though it didn't bother him, he started to get nervous about jumping in. He would start out crouching and ready to jump then turn around and ease in on his belly, saying, "I just want to get in"

We had fun in the hotel room after dinner, looking out the window at "all the beautiful things". A perfect 36 hour mini vacation that was much needed by all of us.
