Day Two

Sea World Day!!


This might possibly have been our favorite day in San Diego. We knew Sea World opened at 9 because we drove by the night before to check on times, so we tried to get to breakfast by 8ish. Mat and I swore they said there was a buffet or you could order off a menu, but there was no buffet! So we ordered off the menu and got ourselves all checked out and packed into the car. We were close to Sea World, maybe only a two minute drive, so it was super easy and we just pulled right in to a pretty good parking space. So we were so excited and almost running up to the gate and we turn the corner right into a huge line of people! I think this might have been the longest line we stood in all day, well, maybe lunch was long too!


Eventually we got our tickets and got our little park map and being the dorks that we are, we sat down to plan out when we were going to each show and what rides we were going on and in what order. I love my husband! Then we got a locker so we could store our camera and my purse when we didn't need them. Finally, we headed to our first ride, which was a water ride called Journey to Atlantis. It was pretty fun! The rest of our day was spent going to the shows - there was a dolphin show, Clyde and Seamore's (the sea lions) show, Shamu (of course), an amazing pet show and some not very good Cirque de Soleil knockoff. We also stopped to look at the arctic animals, sharks, manatees, sea lions and penguins. There was so much to see and I really think we covered almost everything! If you have never been to Sea World, you have to go sometime! If you have been before, you need to go again! It was a seriously great day, but it wasn't over yet!



We were off to the hotel we would stay in the rest of the time in San Diego, which was downtown, close to the Gaslamp District - Embassy Suites. Tabitha got us there in one piece and our check in was easy. We both got cleaned up and then we decided to walk downtown to get us something to eat! So we walked around a bit and found this bar and grill with outdoor seating, so we decided it was the place for us. We both had pizza and beers and it was heavenly! Nothing like a cold beer after you have been outside all day in the sun.



So Day Two was a complete success! I've included a few pictures of Sea World, but click on the picture of the donkey if you want to see all of day two's pictures!
