It's really hard to NOT like this guy. What a true American hero.

California / La Jolla / Legoland in February 2011

My senior management team at work decided to attend the MDM West trade show in Anaheim, California as part of our Sr. Mgmt retreat. After the planning and trade show, some adjourned to Disneyland, while two of us took our rental car and drove south to La Jolla.

That evening, my wife and kids flew into San Diego (from Salt Lake) and joined us in La Jolla (La Jolla Cove Hotel).

The weather was in the mid-70's and full sun. It was nice.

Upon arrival, we noted the news crews and circling news helicopter. The front desk indicated that a great white shark was spotted and that the beach was closed while they looked into it. The closed beach didn't appear to stop the surfers, kayaks and swimmers/scuba divers.

Day 1: Legoland. A few photos (can you spot the real buldings from the Lego buildings?)

The hotel was located right on the La Jolla Cove. We were on the 3rd floor. Sunsets were amazing:

The Cave at the Cove:

The 2nd day, we decided to take a short drive to the UCSD Scripps Oceanographic Institute Aquarium. Suffice it to say, we should have just gone to SeaWorld as we had originally planned. A few photos:
