Sea Life Aquarium and Legoland

So today we headed to Carlsbad to see the new Aquarium, Sea Life, that opened next to Legoland. Ava was actually excited to see the "fishies" and kept trying to reach out and grab them. While we have thought about going to Legoland before, for the cost ($73!) we wanted to wait a few more years for the kids to be able to ride the rides, and get our monies worth. But today we realized we could get a "shopping pass" to enter for free for an hour! So we got to go see what we really wanted to see anyway, the mini cities without having to pay the entrance fee. They still had the inauguration set up in the DC city, which was very cool. Then we stopped and got fresh strawberries on the way home. It made for a very nice day :)
