Never got to do the interactive experiences, though it looked like fun.<BR/><BR/>I also was reminded about an outdoor railroad museum we went to (my son was a choo-choo fanatic at that age). It was like a two hour drive (we lived in Bonita) NE, must have been between SD and LA, but WAY out east. The trains were outside and under hangers...the place was HUGE, and they also had a working train that people could rides on. I wish I could remember the name of it, but if your (collective) kids are into trains it's a must-see.<BR/><BR/>We did Disneyland, of course. But I have to say, Disneyland seems puny next to Disney World...but I'm prejudiced. I was there before California Adventure opened though, so I'm sure that gives people more to do.<BR/><BR/>We loved SD!!

Legoland is lots of fun, but the San Diego Zoo and it's Wild Animal Park are top notch...some of the best zoo facilities in the world.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if they're going to the SD Zoo also...the Wild Animal Park that they showed in previews is in a separate location, far from the zoo itself...but it would be a pity to miss it. We had annual passes when we lived there and went about once a month...my son was a toddler and quick, half-day trips were best.<BR/><BR/>I imagine the Gosselin kids will go crazy for the Wild Animal Park. The safari is great and they offer one-on-one experiences with many of the animals (Alexis' aldergator). It's like an African savannah out there though in August...HOT...many miles in from the ocean.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I think I've picked up a new catch phrase..."No worry beef curry"...although somehow I don't think that'll work of the Islands. Where I'm from it's more like "No sweat jamon croquette".marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281734978135533903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-72482515860728675672008-10-28T17:26:00.000-07:002008-10-28T17:26:00.000-07:00MonicaW42 said..."I was at Ikea today and saw a st...<B> MonicaW42 said..."I was at Ikea today and saw a stuffed alligator that made me think of Alexis...She rocks...

I feel like sending them all back to Kindergarten to learn a very basic lesson - life isn't "fair." Oh yeah, and news flash, we live in a capalist society and are surrounded by marketing whereever we go. This is isn't exactly a new phenomenon. <BR/><BR/>I (and others) have said it many times on this board - the very fact that you/we have an internet connection and the free time to discuss a television show proves that we are better off than about 98% of the world. Be grateful for what you have and stop worrying about "freebies."
