Our Spontaneous Trip

We decided to take advantage of German's Fall Break and make a long weekend trip to San Diego. The boys are still playing 'navy guys' after our tour of the USS Midway, which I highly recommend to anyone visiting San Diego, although a pedicab driver tried to convince us that our kids would be bored to tears! We loved SeaWorld! Our boys are really into animals, so it was fun to see so many that you can only read about. I think "Shamu" (of course) and the sharks were the most impressive, but the penguins, otter, and dolphins were a close second. We also enjoyed a pleasant afternoon collecting seashells at the beach.


The boys enjoying dinner on the hotel floor while watching football.


Waiting for the dolphin show. Side note: probably not a great idea to sit in the 'wet zone' with a 5 week old baby!


We toured an old merchant/passenger ship where the boys dressed up like immigrants - I love Eli's face!


Clark soup! (We probably weren't supposed to let them in the huge pots!)


Can you imagine living in such tight quarters? I think I would like to have been the admiral - his quarters were cush!
