Off to Legoland ...Continued from yesterday: Midway through our grand daughters' spring break we all set off to Carlsbad, California for a trip to Legoland, a magnificent Lego-themed amusement park geared towards the young crowd. As Carlsbad is a good hour-and-a-half drive south from Los Angeles, we decided to leave Thursday afternoon after my daughter and son-and-law finished work, spend the night in Carlsbad and arrive at the park early for a long day of amusement. After a scenic drive margined by mountains, ..and palm trees, ...we stopped at a Denny's outside Carlsbad for dinner, ...where we were surprised, though mayhaps we shouldn't have been, that the chain-restaurant food was so good. Or maybe we were all just muy hungry. In any case, we all ended up liking what we'd ordered: The Grilled Talapia from the 55+ menu, The Veggie Burger,
...the Skillet Supreme (minus the chorizo sausage) for me,
... who generally are not exposed to such a prefabricated gustatory delicacy at home. After dinner we headed for our hotel, The Carlsbad Holiday Inn,
...and fire pit.
The following morning we rose early, checked out of the Holiday Inn and sought breakfast at a nearby restaurant called the Beach Plum Kitchen.
...and the server offered us blankets - a first-time and much appreciated restaurant experience for us - which, it being a chilly morning, my daughter and I did not turn down.
The food was very good, especially the breakfast potatoes. Among us we ordered:
,,,French toast,
...and for the girl whose birthday it was that day, a birthday muffin. After breakfast we were back on the road, following the hordes to our mutual destination. To be continued...
