Over President's Day weekend, we went to California. We stayed at the Legoland Castle Hotel, which was amazing. We enjoyed a day and a half at the park and a day at the beach and pool. We met up with the Adams on Saturday and Sunday. We were also able to see Grandma and Grandpa O.
We went to the park a bit after 9 on Saturday to take advantage of the hotel guest early entry and discovered that it was already open! (It was supposed to open at 9:30.) We used the time to go on Ninjago a couple of times and to take the Coastal Cruise.

We found out on Saturday that Grandma and Grandpa O would be driving past our hotel on Sunday so they decided to stop by for a quick visit. U went out to meet them so they could get free parking and took some selfies with some of the Lego Welcome figures.
