You can't beat free right? So, we packed up on Thursday morning and drove to San Diego. We got to Sea World around 11 am. We got in for FREE from Derek's military status. The kids loved the animals. They were done by this point in the trip, but we still had a great day! We were able to see tons of animals and lots of shows. We watched the sea lion show, the pet's rule show, the dolphin show, and last the shamu show. All were worth it in my opinion! We were in the splash zone for the dolphin show and we learned really quick that the kids did NOT like getting salty water all over them. Every time a dolphin came close they would turn and hide. It was really funny, but the shows were amazing! I can't believe the things animals can do. After the shamu show the kids were about done, but we found an awesome splash pad that Eden fell in love with and got soaked from head to toe. Dolphins splashing=not ok, choosing to get soaked on your own terms=AWESOME. Then, Kael found the jungle gym type area where he climbed and did slides. They really have added a ton of stuff since we came when we were first married 6 years ago! We were totally beat by the end of the day around 4 or 5 and we decided to drive home all night. Derek was AMAZING! The kids slept practically the whole way, but if we ever do anything like this again, we will not drive the whole way. We will stop to sleep for sure. Our immune systems couldn't handle all the craziness, and as soon as we got home we were sick! The kids did fine, but poor Derek was just exhausted and sick, and a couple days later I got sick... We needed a vacation from our vacation!
This trip was amazing and we are so glad we got to take the kids! Disneyland, the beach, and Sea World were a completely different experience with our kids and I loved every moment! Sure love our little family and we can't wait for our next adventure!
