We started our first full day of vacation at Sea World. The weather was gorgeous and we didn't have to deal with much of a crowd since Spring Break was over and it was during the week.

San Diego here we come....I think.
Leading up to our San Diego trip Josh became increasingly anxious. At one point his blood pressure was so high that his face was as red as a lobster and he was so amped up over our impending flight that he took Valium for 3 days before we left just to sleep. I was certain he'd back out of our trip at any second. When Thursday rolled around though, he got on the plane. I had purposely booked his seat in a separate row from the kids and I. I don't want this phobia to rub off on one of them. Our flight was only 2 hours and we had a really smooth flight, which helped. My family arrived safely from various parts of the country as well, including Michigan and Tennessee.

Sea World has some fun rides, including a couple of great roller coasters. Grandpa Eddy, my step sister Hayley, Josh, and Kathy.
One of the water playgrounds for the kiddos.
Sesame Street character show.
The whales.
The dolphin show...amazing!
My brother Jason and niece Erika sat in row 3 and got SOAKED by the whales. We decided to sit a bit further back so Millie (who was napping) wouldn't get wet. Smart choice on our part!
Saturday we went to the beach and boardwalk. It was only in the 60's but warm for a day at the beach by an Oregonian's standards! My niece Erika was running in the waves in her undies and it didn't phase her a bit. The Californians probably thought we were crazy.
Boardwalk carousel.
Grandpa Eddy and Josh got really competitive on the boardwalk bumper cars. They were acting like bigger kids than the actual kids.
The "Big Dipper" that Grandpa Eddy and Josh went on. An 80 year old wooden roller coaster on the boardwalk. They're braver than I!
That's the first half of our trip. I'll try to get the rest up soon. :)

So glad Josh was able to fly! When I saw your Facebook pictures, I wondered how you'd gotten down there, but didn't think you'd want to drive all that way. :) Your trip sounds wonderful!
