We visited San Diego last week because Jack wanted to go to LEGOLAND for his birthday. We haven't done much travel as a family this year so in the summer, San Diego in November seemed like a good idea.
We stayed in South Oceanside which is almost Carlsbad. The Southern California coastal towns run together. South O as they call it is on the 101. The 101 seems a lot like Aurora as it's no longer than main highway up the coast. However, it's clear this area is in the middle of a revival. There was lots of construction, hipster restaurants (we ate at a place called the Wrench and the Rodent), good coffee and many a pilates studio.
LEGOLAND is a theme park geared for younger kids. Because Jack is a bit young for his age, it was a great park for him. Since we went the week before Thanksgiving, there were no lines. We also got to visit the beach when we got home from the park. Fun was had by all.

| While Jack can have fun when we travel, it also challenges him a lot. Melt-downs are very common as he is called upon to be flexible. I include moments like this because it's not all fun. |

| Slow cruise through LEGO mini town. We are in NYC right now so when we were in San Diego I pointed out many of the major landmarks we'd see in NYC. |
