San Diego

Disclaimer: Since it has been a while this will be a long post.

Well has been almost a month since we went on our trip to San Diego. We had so much fun. We arrived on a Monday afternoon so our first stop off was to see the ocean of course.

Izzy loves the water and so this was a huge hit. I am sure we could have stayed all day at the beach. She loved to feel the sand between her toes. And she made it a game to run away from the waves.

It took much effort on Court and my behalf to make sure she didn't actually go swimming on us. However she was still soaked from the waist down.

Day 2:Tuesday morning it was off to Sea World. This is a favorite of Court's family so I think he was more excited then all of us.

We purchased tickets to have breakfast with Shamu and that is probably the smartest thing we could have done. As you can see from the picture our table was right in front of the pool. And the trainers worked with the whale the whole time we ate. It was amazing to see this creature so close up.

I don't think Isabel ate much at breakfast. Izzy spent the whole breakfast either watching the whale or trying to take pictures. You can't tell but she held the camera backwards so I am sure we have many pictures of just her eye.

After spending most of the day at the shows it was off to see the Budweiser horses. Isabel's favorite animal is a horse so she was so excited to be up close and personal with it. It was a struggle to get her to leave that day.

Day 3: It was off to the animal kingdom park. I wasn't that impressed with it. The idea is quite exciting to see animals in their on habitat but unless you had quite a bit of money to burn to go on the outback safari rides you only got to see the animals at a distance. However, the one shining part of the day was their petting zoo. Which Isabel really enjoyed.

Day 4: Off to Legoland. Once again Court was like a kid in a candy store. He spent much of Izzy's nap video taping all the cool things made out of legos. I was very impressed with the complete cities that they created.

Here is one of many pictures of court and Izzy on a ride. It was the first time Izzy had ever been on anything over then a carousel, so I was worried that she might be a bit scared. But she loved it. She pulled Court to all the plane and helicopter ones she could find. And that she was tall enough for.

Legoland has this cool water park area where the kids can just run around getting wet from all the foundations, waterfalls and slides. Izzy really seem to enjoy running around with some of the other kids her age.


This a picture of Izzy one night after a long day at one of the parks (not sure which one). I had just barely put on her pj's and got up to get something and came back to find this. I guess we wore her out.

Day 5: We flew home. It was a great trip and we all really enjoyed ourselves.
