Family Vacation: Day Four

HEY GUYS! WE'RE READY TO GO SEE SHAMU!




It's not Shamu, but the girls loved seeing the Dolphin show. Olivia had a great time, and didn't even cry when the Pilot Whales came by and splashed all of us. After the show, Olivia kept asking, "Wet again?"



Oh no! Watch out for the giant shark mouth behind bars! Ya, not so scary when you can't even get close. The Shark Encounter was Kirk's favorite attraction. Oh, and this ride they are on made me very sick. It was twisty, turny, and up and downy. The girls loved it though.



We were waiting for the pet show to start, but after I looked at the pictures later, I couldn't stop laughing. I don't know if Kirk was enjoying his cotton candy or not.


Look mom, some stinky fish. Yup, my children were feeding the seals with the stinky fish. Almost all the fish made it to the seals, but Olivia's last fish was snatched up by a seagull.


This was the crowning moment of the day. Right before the park closed, the girls were able to pet the Manarays. I loved watching them get so excited. It was a great ending to our time in Sea World.


After Sea World, it was off to Old Town San Diego for some fantastic Mexican food. After we picked the restaurant, (Coyote Cafe) Kirk and I had Dejavu. We realized that 7 years earlier, my brother had taken us to this restaurant while we were visiting him. Kirk even remembered where the bathroom was located, so it must have made an impression on him. The girls loved their food, and Olivia made sure we noticed that she was eating.


After dinner we took a walk through Old Town. The girls had fun looking in all the shops, and playing the many Pioneer equipment. How wonderful to enjoy a nice walk after dinner and watch our beautiful children play.


On the way back to the hotel in Anaheim, the Border Patrol had the freeway closed, and they were checking cars. Good thing Kirk has a good poker face, because they just waved us through. Whew! We dodged a bullet and they didn't find the fruit in our back seat! The girls slept all the way home, and then slept all night at the hotel. We were all tired, but happy after a fun day in San Diego.

Wait!
I didn't get any pictures of Shamu!
