To LegoLand and Beyond!

On the second day we went to Legoland.

• This was a less hectic day. It wasn't as crowded and the guests had respect for others. Legoland is geared more toward the younger child. I felt the parents here were trying to teach some form of ethics to their children. AMEN! There were many "Excuse Me's?", opening of doors and polite gestures of help, not only to me, but to each other. It was a pleasant day that ended with a visit to the aquarium. Where Merryck fell in love with fish and finally enjoyed some of our trip.

At the beginning of the third day we went to Hollywood Boulevard.

• We had a blast searching the stars on the sidewalk, for particular ones important to someone in our group and quickly took a picture. We tried not to stop in people's way, but if we did most people were cordial. After all that's what everyone was there for and they were very understanding. My cute, flirtatious, grandchildren soon became an added attraction and people begged to get a picture with them. Too funny!

My favorite part of the whole vacation was the second half of that day. We went to Santa Monica Beach.

• Michelle, Colby and Merryck had never been to the ocean. We were all very excited. Those three, to see and experience the majestic beauty of God's wonderful artistry. Ace and I were excited to see this unfold before us.
• When we got within view there were ooh's and awe's from everyone, even Merryck. He's at the point where he loves to copy people.
• I noticed a lot of homeless people and am not judgemental of them. I believe they sense this from me and more than once they went out of their way to talk to me, help me or just catch my attention to send a friendly smile and wave. They did not do this to Ace or Michelle which made me know they were not acting this way for a donation. I felt so accepted by these beautiful, vivacious human beings. They made my day!...
