Sea World and more

Since Ryan had 2 (yes that's right 2) days off work for spring break, we took our very first family vacation by ourselves. We went to Sea World on the first day, spent the night in La Jolla and hung out at the beach the next day. It was a awesome vacation, we kept getting little cool perks along the way. First the lady taking the parking money took my $10 then handed it back and said it was on her today - sweet! Then we brought food and thought they might make us throw it out but the guy at the door checked everyone else's bags except our stroller crammed with stuff - yes! Then we sat right in the middle of the "Soak Zone" (Ryan's idea) and the people on both sides of us got soaked but we got barely a sprinkle - yipee! Then at our hotel they upgraded us to an awesome room overlooking the ocean (new carpet, granite countertop kitchenette, flat screen), we found out later it was the sample for a remodel of the whole hotel so no one else had a room as nice as ours! So here we are at Sea World. 1 day admission gets you the rest of the year free, anyone want to join us for at our next visit? Big ups to the Powells for swapping strollers with us, Zach had a good time "pushing" the stroller around. We fed fishes to the dolphins and picked up starfish. Sea World had beautiful flowers everywhere. I think Ryan was tired of me pointing them out continuously. I need a girl there with me next time to appreciate them with me.

Here is the awesome view from the balcony of our hotel room.

These pictures dont do it justice, trust me it was awesome. The beach in front of the hotel is for guests only so we were all alone on the beach for most of our time there.

The boys had fun playing in the sand and very small waves. Ryan and I liked watching the 1st time kayakers trying to launch nearby and getting toppled in the waves.

Before heading home we went over to the tide pools to look for crabs. Then we walked to Mother's Beach to see the seals that took it over. Those specks on the beach behind Ryan are the seals.
