Sea World

Over Memorial Day weekend we enjoyed seeing the sites of San Diego. Sea World was a big hit with the whole family. We enjoyed seeing the majestic Killer Whales. I love this show because it teaches us to follow our dreams and that is so important for us to do. I hope that my children will always follow their dreams.



This was so cute to watch the killer whales shaking its head at us. Then they started twirling around and around with thier fins out. And then came the command to get the crowd wet. And boy did a few people get wet. Luckily we learned from the dolphin show to sit up higher in the stands.






This is a picture from the new dolphin show and boy it really is amazing. There is diving and acrobatics and dolphins jumping and whales getting everyone wet. Our girls don't like to get wet but we thought it would be good to sit close so we can see better and that was not a good decision. We were very wet by the end of the show and so were our sweaters trying to make sure the girls didn't get wet. They still got a little wet on the bottom half but at least they didn't get water splashed in their faces. We won't be sitting in the Spalsh Zone again.

I love the Sting Ray pool. It is really fun to interact with the sea life. The girls really liked having their dad help them touch the sting rays.






Here's the family nice and dry before the dolphin show. It was a fun day at the park. I'm sure that next summer will be filled with lots of days at Sea World. We decided to wait until next year when the girls are older to buy our year passes. We sure do love San Diego and like Luis says all the time, "it feels like we are on vacation". We have had a lot of those "vacation" moments living in San Diego.

La Jolla Cove

This Memorial Day weekend we dicided to take in the sites of San Diego starting with La Jolla Cove. This is a beautiful beach where you can see the tide pools and the seals. It was a beautiful morning and the water was so clear.
We had a fun time climbing the rocks and enjoying all the different sea life there is to see. This crab was such a different color than all the other crabs. He was all alone in his own little pool.
This sea anemone was in a pool with a few crabs. The girls got to touch and feel the sea anemone and see it close up. They were fascinated by it. All the crabs were hiding in the cracks of the rocks so we didn't get very good pictures of them.
Here are the seals sun bathing on the rocks. We got to see them swimming around playing in the ocean and looking for food. It was fun to see and the girls really enjoyed it and continue to ask to go see the seals again.
And here is the family picture on the beach. It was such a beautiful day at the beach and we will probably take many trips to La Jolla to enjoy our time there.
The next day we went to Sea World...pictures to come!!
