Then David and I walked across the parking lot to the San Diego Auto Museum. This was a very interesting place also. It had many cars from early 1900's right on up through to some future type models. The history in here is great too- so much to see. There were also some vintage motor cycles in here too. We met up with a guide whose name was Mike Yeakle. He made cars for Dale Earnhardt Sr. There was one of Dale Sr.'s cars and motor bikes at the museum. Mike has a website if you'd like more information on Dale Earnhardt Sr. please check out: http://www.americashero.org/ .

We were off to Lego Land next- this was about 30 - 45 mins drive from downtown San Diego. Now even though this place is geared for kids...Kids of all ages will enjoy it. It's a park where everything is made out of Lego's. It is truly amazing to see the things that are made out of Lego's. In the middle of the Park is an area that depicts many places in the USA and in other parts of the world. I have been to many to the places in USA that they recreated. It is really great to see this part of the park. There are rides here for kids- and interactive places for the kids to build their own stuff (each building area is separated by age groups). There are gift shops and places to eat here too. To get more info on this park please go to: http://www.legoland.com/ .

Well it started to rain while we were at Lego Land and it was getting late in the day- so we decided to call it a day and head back to the motel. We needed to get some rest, as we had another full day ahead of us the next day! We finished out the day by having dinner at Achiote'.
This was a very nice Mexican Food Restaurant. The food and atmosphere were great and prices weren't bad.

Off to get the pictures together for this entry....take care and I'll be back soon- Donna
