We're having dinner at Karl Strauss (karlstrauss.com) a brew pub where Kelly and Chip first met nearly 15 years ago. The trip down memory lane is fun for everyone....and I'd highly recomment the black garlic fondue appetizer!
It's early to bed for all of them due to the time change and with great anticipation for Legoland (legoland.com) in Carlsbad tomorrow.
Ian is so excited, he's jumping out of his socks! Turns out he's not the only one who loves it...this is one terrific place for everyone! It's largely an amusement park with rides that suit most everyone.
The park is full of large scale Lego figures which are adorable.
What the adults find most fascinating is the recreation of pretty much all the major cities in the world...all in Legos. "Visiting" DC, our favorite is along the canal in Georgetown, the last inauguration, complete with the Obama family riding around in a car and the monuments.

Rick's been champing at the bit to take Ian to Mindstorms, a building in the park devoted to Lego robots and offering a 45 minute class for kids in programming. 
Ian loves it and proves a natural programming his robot to follow a specific path, pick up barrels and place them on a shelf. He shouts "My calculations proved correct!" The proud grandfather is just beaming!
We're there 'til closing and are all a bit exhuasted. And we need to gear up for Seaworld tomorrow!
