We decided to take a trip to Colorado over Memorial day week. We stopped overnight in Wyoming and drove the next day to Denver, where we spent a few days exploring. We then headed to Colorado Springs for a few days and then stopped in Utah on the way home. It was a lot of driving but we had fun.
Our last full day in Jackson, we went to the children’s museum they have in downtown, which we’ve been to before and the kids love. We also went to the rec center (I didn’t get pictures here, since I was swimming), which had a really nice indoor pool with some waterslides and kid play areas. The resort we stayed at had a pool but it was outside and it was too cold on this day to swim, so we let William choose what he wanted to do, since it was his birthday, and that’s what he wanted.
To celebrate my recent 6 year anniversary at work, and with the closeness of Jackson to us, 10up offered to extend my stay and have my family come up for a few extra days, so that was exciting. Kryssi drove up with the kids Friday and we stayed through Monday morning.
We decided at the last second to take a trip to Twin Falls over Memorial Day weekend. We have never been to see Shoshone Falls and have only been to Twin Falls once (for a wedding), so thought it would be fun.
Our last full day in San Diego we went to SeaWorld. I think this was my favorite of all the places we went to. Had lots of animal exhibits, fun shows, some rides and kid play areas, so a little of everything. It was also the least crowded of the places we went, so I enjoyed that.
We decided to stay at the Legoland Hotel the night before we went to Legoland. It was a little pricey but not as bad as I thought it would be, and it meant we were literally right next to Legoland the next day (and got to go in 30 minutes early).
The hotel had legos everywhere to play with and had a castle play area in the lobby the kids loved. They have multiple shows you can participate in, which Lucas and McKinley did one of those. The kids loved the disco balls in the elevator, that would turn on and play dance music every time the elevator started. Also had a nice, kid-friendly breakfast buffet in the morning.
After going to the zoo on Tuesday, we had some more time in the day, so we went to the Mormon Battalion exhibit. It was really well done and the kids loved it.
The next day we went back to Old Town San Diego and explored some of the old building they had there. The blacksmith shop was the best, as the people there were really good at doing demonstrations.
After lunch we headed to the beach. It wasn’t super warm but it was pretty nice and the kids loved playing.
After the beach we stopped at the temple on our way to the Legoland hotel. The temple is right next to the freeway, so it’s impossible to miss. It’s a beautiful temple.
