December 27, 2006 - Day 1

Our Flight From Edmonton to San Diego[img]/ubb/images/graemlins/zwavin.gif[/img]

It seems like we have been planning this trip forever and the day has finally arrived! We were up at 3:00 AM to catch our 6:00 AM flight to Vancouver and then on to San Diego. We met Grandma and Grandpa at the airport and we then proceeded through baggage and security together. Our flight arrived in San Diego a little early. The Temperature was +17 Celsius with cloudy skies and a strong wind.

We took a shuttle to the Hertz rental car depot to pick up our vehicle. There was no minivan like we had requested available so they upgraded us to a SUV. It was a light green, 7 passenger, Ford Freestyle. It had leather interior and lots of bells and whistles including a navigation system that the kids promptly named Lola. I don't know why that is just what they picked!!!

Off to our hotel. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Sea World. This hotel had been recently renovated and was very nice. The rooms were extremely clean and the staff was tremendously helpful. We unpacked and got settled before we went to Bucca de Beppo for a late lunch/early supper. At the restaurant we ordered four dishes to share. Everything is served family style and was meant to be shared. We ordered Spaghetti and meatballs (the biggest meatballs I have ever seen), gnocchi with a rose sauce, a cheese pizza, and a sampler platter that included stuffed shells, lasagne, and two types of manicotti. The food was awesome especially the huge meatballs and the ambiance and decor were especially interesting and enjoyable.

After supper the kids went for a swim before we headed off to bed. We were all exhausted from our early start. We are off to Sea world tomorrow.

Day 2 – December 28, 2006

Today we go to Sea World! The temperature today was +19 Celsius, sunny skis and the wind was gone. We got up and got ready before going downstairs to our hotels complementary breakfast. There was a large selection of breakfast items available such as cinnamon buns, pastries, bagels, toast, oatmeal, cereal, boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt, juice, milk, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. We all ate our fill of the tasty offerings before heading to Sea world.

Our vehicles Navigation system is wonderful. It has completely taken the stress of driving in a strange place away. We have all agreed that we will never travel without one again - Thank you Lola.

We arrived at Seaworld full of anticipation, and excitement. The first thing we saw was the dolphins during their feeding time. We were able to hand feed the dolphins, as well as touch and interact with them. What a thrill! DD could have stayed there all day. It truly was amazing.

We wandered around the park and we saw and interacted with many sea creatures including star fish.DS and DD we able to pick up star fish in the tide pools. DS especially enjoyed the bat rays and manta rays during their feeding time.

We all decided to brave Shipwreck Rapids where we spun and splashed through the water filled caverns becoming absolutely soaked during the process. Grandpa was completely drenched but fun was had by all.

For the Shamu show we had purchased picnic with Shamu tickets. During the performance we were served a meal and beverage. The kids had hotdogs, chips and a drink served in a souvenir Shamu shaped lunch pail. We had a cold steak on a bun, fruit, pasta salad and a drink. The Shamu show was incredible. We truly enjoyed ourselves and our meal as well.

We saw other shows such as the sea lion and otter show, and we went on a trip to the artic, DS braved the journey to Atlantis water ride but none of us were daring enough to join him. Fun was had by all. For dinner we went to In and Out Burger. We all had burgers and fries.
