Oceanside CA

For Father's Day my dad's friend, Josh, gave him surf lessons. I tried too, but I didn't like it. Then we had brunch at the Stone Brewery. It was really cool. It had cool rocks and gardens. Dad's friend also came over on the weekend. On the way home we were rear-ended

The Getty

Friday we went to the Getty with Lena and Phoebe (they get the record for most blog coverage). Lena's husband, Julian, is the curator of Drawings. We had a great lunch and saw some art. Julian even showed us his office.

Bulgarini Gelato and movies, Altadena, CA

We went for gelato at a famous gelateria called Bulgarini Gelato with Lena and Phoebe. When we were leaving a movie crew came in to film a scene.

Legoland, California

Yesterday we went to Legoland. It was Gavin's dream, here's a few words from him:
I liked it. I liked Miniland, USA. It was cool! I liked the Technic Coaster and the lego sufer and sleeping man. I got my driver's license! I liked the dragon in Castle Hill and the splash out, orange rush and twin chasers slides in the waterpark.
