Sea World

M2B =) days 496-497.  Wednesday, June 15th - Thursday, June 16th happiness.

Wednesday, June 15th happiness:  We did Sea World today.  First stop - Atlantis.  I no longer do this ride, or any other water rides, for that matter, but the boys went.   They loved it of course.


The Walrus was putting on a show.  He had his face right up against the glass.  He would spit out his food, then suck it back in, then spit it out, and suck it back in.  It was nasty, yet I couldn't look away.  
I love me some polar bears.  There were 3 of them out today.  They look so cute and cuddly you almost want to climb in there with them, that is until you remember that they will probably eat your face off.  Sigh.... 
Good news.  The sky ride is now free.  I've never been before.  It takes you out over the bay and you can see all of San Diego.  Pretty awesome.  I only got scared once, I think!
Joe and Dallin spent most of the day on Atlantis, so Brian and I got to walk around leisurely and enjoy the park.  The last time we were here, we kind of missed the dolphins.  Which is both mine and Brian's favorite part, so we made sure we spent a long time there today.  One of the dolphins came up to where I was at, put his tail up in the air, and totally splashed everyone.  Then he put his face up and I swear he smiled.  The best part was that right after that, he came right up and I totally got to pet him.  He is my new favorite dolphin ever.
The best show of the day was of course, the Sea Lions.  
We met Nemo.
Brian actually made friends with him.  He would hold his finger out and slowly move it around.  That little fish followed his finger wherever it went.  It was so cute.
The flowers were gorgeous.  They were like this everywhere.  And they came in all different colors too.
This is what happens when I have to use the restroom, and I leave my camera with Brian.  If you don't document it, no one will believe.
Final stop of the day was the Shamu show.  And it's not the cheesy 'Believe' show either.  It was new.  Pretty good stuff.
The best part was that 'June Gloom' was in full swing.  It was cloudy and quite cool all day.  So cool in fact, that we had to stop and get sweatshirts for me and Joe.  I will take June Gloom over Hot as an Oven any day.

Friday, June 17th happiness:  I sat with my toes in the sand and watched this little guy for a long time today.  He was pretty entertaining.  The beach was cold today.  Cold!!!  In June!! That is unheard of.  I enjoyed every second of it.
Dallin and Joe made some new friends.  These girls were more their age and they are also from Arizona.  Two plusses!  The literally stood there like that talking for like 3 hours.  
Tonight we walked down to Belmont Park.  I left my camera behind, so no photos of Joe and Dallin riding the roller coaster or the other ride that I can't remember the name of that was so stinking cool.  Oh well.  We window shopped a bit, hung out and then went back to the condo and ate delicious pizza.  Good times.

That's it for now.

Happy Day!

I love the dolphins too! I'm so excited to go to Sea World in a few weeks.

Looks like Joe is quite the ladies man.

Poor Brian had to sit all alone on the ride...
