We spent a great few days in Carlsbad, CA which is near San Diego. It is a lovely small town right on the water. Good restaurants and near to Legoland which the children enjoyed.

All of our boys love Lego and so this was a lot of fun to be immersed in it all day.
We loved this one of the inauguration -- very cool:

Here's Charlotte and I love this as it looks as if she is on a balcony looking over a real city. But it's a miniature Lego one!

Another one of Charlotte jousting:

Max -- slightly nervous despite this guy being made out of Lego!

Ben is such a wonderful big brother. He rides many things that I know he cringes at but when it's only for two -- I take Charlotte and he helps out with Max. Such a nice guy.
