Shamu, sunburns and sleepy mommy...

Today my hubby was teasing me because I'm writing a "Travel Blog"... now I don't consider myself a travel blogger because you would have to actually travel more than once every few years to count yourself a blogger about travel. So who knows... maybe I'll have a new profession... maybe some famous publisher will want to make my Disneyland travel adventures into a famous book!
Well... I can dream far fetched dreams can't I?

Anyhoo... on to the adventure of the day! Today we went to Sea World in San Diego. The day started with my awesome cousin who decided that she would let Neil and I sleep a bit and she fed the kids breakfast and put them in front of cartoons... Yes Felicia is a rockstar! Can I bring her back to Oregon with me? PLEASE?!? Again I can dream right?
We drove the hour down to Sea World and got our day started with the Dolphin show. The kids loved! We took the pre-show time to lather on the sunscreen and make sure everyone had a sun hat. Abby was very excited because we bought her one there. Sesame Street is big at Sea World so she got an Abby-Cadabby hat... she thought she was a star! After the dolphin show we went onto the sea lion and seal show... again super cute. The main drama of the day happened in the middle of that show when Chloe realized she left her wallet at the dolphin stadium. So Neil and Chloe went to look for it and file a claim at lost and found. (BTW... wallet still MIA) But the loss of said wallet and it's contents were quickly remedied when we bought stuffed Shamu's which were the intent of her money in the first place. oi! It was a quick lesson learned that when mommy says keep your wallet in your pocket until you are paying for something.... YOU STINKING LISTEN!!
On with the day... we then went to the Sesame Street kids area and the kids rode on a couple rides. The spinning stars were a bit much for mommy's tummy so I sat out on the next couple kiddo adventures. (oh too bad!) After the kiddie rides we went for the big guns and rode Journey to Atlantis... Abby rode it and loved it. We have the photo and it's HILARIOUS!
Overall there were many adventures, a sunburned mommy and daddy, and yet another great day in the land of the INSANE DRIVERS!! So 'til tomorrow... this is wanna-be blogging momma signing off and heading to bed! :) I can barely lift my fingers to type.
