Seven Year Anniversary!It's our 7th Anniversary and we are in Carlsbad, California spending it together as a family. Our drive over here wasn't too bad, around 6 hours.
Thank goodness for Border Patrol! We had been trying to get Landon to take a nap for a while, so when we passed through the check point Landon asked "what that guy say?" I told him, "He was checking to see if you had taken your nap. He said to tell you if you close your eyes for a while we'll get to Legoland faster." Immediately, he closed his eyes. Three minutes later he opened them and said, "Are we there yet Mommy?" When, I replied "no", he closed his eyes again and was asleep less than 5 minute later!!
Then, when we crossed through another Border patrol check point Landon asked, "what that guy say?" I replied, "he was just checking to see if you took your nap and I told him you did!" Worked like charm, at least I thought so. Carlos was cracking up and whispering to me that I was a liar.
Once we arrived at the Resort, we got the good with the bad. I'll start with the good. We were upgraded to a junior suite!! Two HUGE rooms! One with a full dining room table and six chairs, full size bar and couch and desk and the bedroom in the other room. That was the pleasant Anniversary surprise.

This is just the living room part of our suite.
The bad news was our dinner was HORRIBLE!! Beyond bad! And after throwing down $100, we're still mad about it. The pasta was worse than Hunt's from the can and my salmon was ridiculously terrible. We LITERALLY, thought Landon's hot dog tasted better. Literally. And he was the only one excited about the meal! So much so he had to kick back and relax after his "dog".
Tomorrow we're headed to Legoland. The weather is beautiful!!! Delicious ocean breeze you can smell, and temps in the mid 70's. Tonight it was in the upper 60's. Makes you want to live here. Then you remember, oh wait, homes cost a ga-zillion dollars. Guess we can kiss that idea good-bye!
