Staycation

I bought a night stay and tickets to Legoland and SeaLife through a fundraising auction for our company's foundation.  We had lots of fun playing at LegoLand, seeing the fish, and visiting the trains at Union Station.  At LegoLand we learned that Ellie has no fear as she already mastered the tunnel slide.  Brady who I would not consider a cautious kid by any means had a thing about tunnel slides and didn't go down one until he was almost 4.  She climbed up the cushioned stairs (while another mom kept making comments about the baby being in the slide eluding to it not being safe) and went right down.  After she went down once she wanted to go over and over.  I think she went down the slide 20 times.  It wasn't a huge slide, but I was still impressed.   The weekend stay also reminded us the importance of staying only in hotels with two separate rooms.   I don't think any one slept well.  Brady was still recovering from a cough so that didn't help.
