We took a weeklong vacation in San Diego; we've been saving up for the vacation for five years! I had all these grand plans and visions in my head as to how this was going to be, but of course, you also have to plan for bumps in the road and we had bumps--quite a few, but it did not stop us from having fun. First, I made a cardboard "map" to hang up in the car with a moving car so the kids could see where we were and how close we were getting to our destination without having to constantly ask "Are we there yet? How much longer? etc..." We drove the whole 12 hours in one day so we could just travel and sleep the first day so we'd be ready for the next day full of fun. We saw Zzyzx Road!
Lucas found a huge Angel trumpet flower. I had to tell him those are highly poisonous, but they smell amazing.
We went to a really cool 50s diner for dinner one night.
Monday was our zoo day. The whole week turned out to be cloudy and cold. Monday was probably the best day to be out. This zoo was amazing! They had so many animals and places for kids to play on several different playsets and a splash pad. We got to see the pandas! and Lucas had to get a backside shot of the gorillas. 
Poor Zander had a rough night. He got sick with the flu the week before our trip and that turned into a double ear infection. I took him to the urgent care near by to get him some meds so he could try to enjoy his time at Legoland. He has been looking forward to this for a very long time.
Tuesday was Legoland
