Road Trip Day Nine

On Sunday I woke up early and took Penelope to the dog park. It was amazing- right on the beach, with a mix of crazy dogs and surfers.

Then we went to SeaWorld.

Kate and I did the Elmo Flying Fish ride while the boys went to a big scary roller coaster. Then she did the spinning tea cups by herself because I decided it wouldn’t be a good idea to vomit so early in the day.

It was really hot and felt great to get splashed by Shamu!

As we were heading out, we decided to head back to the kid play area. Good call.

We stayed all day, and unfortunately got somewhat sunburned, despite liberal applications of sunblock. Once back at the hotel we went to the same restaurant for dinner (not as good this time), and then Eddy and the kids watched Despicable Me 2 by the side of the pool.

Even Penelope was happy the day was over.

Road Trip Day Eight

Saturday morning we enjoyed a buffet breakfast at the hotel and then headed off for San Diego. The drive was unremarkable except for a few traffic jams, but we arrived in good time. The hotel is right on the water and we can walk to SeaWorld or the beach from here.

Below are some pictures from our first night; we walked about two minutes to the restaurant and enjoyed a nice meal (unfortunately the meal the next night wasn’t quite as good). Then we walked back to the hotel at sunset. Aaah, vacation.
