Sea World Get Away

Before we left for Sea World, we went down to Seal Beach for some morning Boogie Boarding! We have become beach bums which is so much fun. The kids absolutely love the beach, and at Seal Beach, the waves are just right for them. They can go out pretty far.


I love California! This picture was taken on Front Street in San Diego. This is just a great place to live! There is so much to do during the summer, and equally as much in the winter. The kids are already looking forward to going up to Wrightwood this winter to take ski lessons.

We had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe before hitting the pool and jacuzzi at the hotel. The kids love rock and roll!

They also love to eat!!!! The beer, however, did not belong to them!

Here Sophia excitedly waits for Shamu! She has no idea at this point what "soak zone" means!

Pre our first Soak Zone experience!

Zack is an excellent rock climber! I wish they had rock climbing teams at universities! I am sure he'd get a scholarship. This kid climbed the medium and hard sections of this rock wall and made it look easy.

The kids were amazed at all of the animals we saw. They had never seen or heard of many of them!

Of course, they were fascinated with the sharks!


Just a random pic I took - reminded me of June!

Zack checking out the starfish.

Sophia took this pic unbeknownst to me! I asked her to hold the camera!
Zack was the map man. He wanted to make sure we saw everything!

We did most everything but saved some things for next time. It was $4 more for a pass that lasts through December 31st so it just made sense to go for it. This way we can go back for Sea World Spooktacular. The kids LOVE Halloween!
There are a few rides at Sea World one of which is "Journey to Atlantis". That ride rocks!!!! IT was so much fun! Well, I was a little frightened, but it was cool. The kids LOVED it! They also loved Shipwreck Rapids where we all got soaked. I had a plastic poncho on, but still got pretty wet!
All in all, it was a great couple of days away. Tuesday school starts for the kiddos and then fun will be pushed out to the weekend, but we will be sure to find time to play together.
Tomorrow, we're off to the beach for more boogie boarding! Life is good! The planets are aligning...
