SAN DIEGO

Sea World was definitely a highlight for us. It turned out to be a beautiful day...just about perfect! We made the rounds with the shows, the rides and exhibits in about 7 hours. We had packed a lunch so we all gathered in the parking lot for a small feast. It was all quite fun and memorable, I might add! :)
























































































We spent one of our days visiting the beach and a large aircraft carrier - the USS MIDWAY. It was cool and windy at the beach, but just fun to be there. We walked around, threw the football around and chased the waves for about an hour. I wish we would have had more time, but it was definitely enough to appreciate the magnitude of the ocean. Touring the USS MIDWAY was quite interesting. When in operation, it housed 4,500 military personnel. It's most recent tour of duty was during Desert Storm. I wouldn't mind going back some day.
































































































It was so interesting to travel from Arizona to California. Such different things to see...sand dunes, rocks, mountains and eventually palm trees! It is pretty amazing!
