We learned to speak whale this weekend

So Shaun and I decided to pack our bags for a little summer family vacation get away to San Diego. This meant 5 hours sitting in traffic on a vacation weekend with a not very thrilled one year old in the back seat. Did he not get the happy good fun time memo? Its pretty much every California kids right of passage to go to two places when you're little; one being the happiest place on earth ... and then the happiest place on earth's distant, twice removed aquatic cousin. Thats right baby, we're talking about Sea World.


















It was a bit of a whirlwind weekend but we had a lot of fun. We learned a lot too; like, its nearly impossible to keep a one year old who wants to run everywhere still and that when contained, will scream at pitches I'm sure only the whales could hear. Needless to say, we didn't sit through any shows, and never got to actually see Shamu. I know, right? Oh well, we have free passes to go back before the end of the year. Second time better be a charm because I ain't making that trip a third time any time soon!
