Sea World San Diego

We got a ffantastic deal on season passes to Sea World and we wanted to make sure we at least got our value out of them.  The night before we wanted to go the flight filled up so we made other plans for our Saturday.  Mariah woke up crying at 5:30 so I gave her a binky and on a whim checked the flight.  It had SEATS!  We really wanted to go, but still hadn't resolved our broken stroller from our last flight.  Luckily, a friend was up and let me into her garage to borrow her double stroller, so in 20 mins we packed rented a car and made breakfast and lunch for the day.  

Jackson was so disappointed last night, so it was exciting to wake him up and tell him we were going.  I don't think he knew what to expect, but it did not disappoint!  The kids loved the shows, the rides, the exhibits (except the shark tunnel that terrified Jackson). and especially the Sesame Street Bay of Play.  We had such a good time wandering the park and seeing amazing things.  

 Jackson went on the Atlantis ride and was purely terrified (although brave).  I think it will be awhile before he enjoys the scary rides.

 Mariah learned to walk while waiting in line for these little rides... just in time too. the requirement for the ride was that the child had to be able to 'walk' (take 3 steps) so she got to come on as soon as she proved it to the attendant :)

Luckily Hallie and Mariah napped and Jackson fell asleep on the way to the airport for our late flight home.  It was easy with all the kids sleeping the whole way.  What a fun day!  We hope we get to do it again frequently!
