to los angeles…and beyond!
We had to wake the children for breakfast at 9:30 this morning, that might not sound unusual but let me tell you that it is very unusual for all four of our kids to be still asleep after 7am. I suppose the time shift got to them, but after a buffet breakfast American style where IrishWrath got to make his own waffle, we were up and ready to venture on to our second hotel. The drive to Carlsbad was mostly interstate (guided by our ever efficient robot woman GPS) and took a little over an hour so we got checked into The Homewood Suites, and had a splash in the pool by lunch time.
After lunch we found the local premium outlet mall for some more shopping and lunch; the boys got some cards that fold up into a ford fairlane which really kept their interest… so much so that we had to go back to the same restruant to get more cars (and some Dessert!)
Tommorrow we are off to Legoland
