Summer Family Trip

This summer's family trip took us to Sea World. Sea World's deal of adults pay kids price and get a second day free was just too good to pass up and I knew the kids would love it. We, I know we're crazy, drove to San Diego. It does help having family in Las Vegas where we stopped for one night going down and one night going back. I don't think we would have survived without those stops. We spent our first day in San Diego at Sea World and the kids loved it. We started out at the tide pool where the kids got to touch star fish and whatever else they could reach. Beckam just liked sticking his hand in the water, but Brylie was really into it and mesmerized by everything. We say tons of fish, sea turtles, and sharks. Brylie kept asking to see the sharks and she wasn't disappointed. At the shark exhibit is where Beckam really got into seeing all of the animals, fish, etc. (Sorry no pictures of the sharks, there was no room and kids had to be held to see stuff.)


During the afternoon we saw the Shamu show. I think that was the favorite thing for the day. The kids loved it and Beckam wouldn't stop saying Shamu. Another hit for Beckam was the walrus in the polar exhibit. He just sat and watched the walrus swim around. He would have stayed longer if we would have let him.

After the polar exhibit we needed the kids to let off some energy so we headed over to the Sesame Street themed kids play area. Brandon was trooper and took the kids up in the rope climb area. I don't know how he got the kids to finally come out. They went on one of the rides and then Brylie wanted to see the characters that were taking pictures. Beckam kept saying he wanted to see Elmo but when it came time, he wanted nothing to do with any of the characters. He held on to Brandon for dear life while we were around them.
We finished off our day by feeding the bat rays and making promises to the kids to do it all again and more the next day.
Then it was back to the hotel to order a pizza and rest up for the next day at Sea World this time with my parents and sisters included.
