San Diego Day 3!

Since the Zoo doesn’t open until 10:00 we went to play at the beach at Coronado in the morning.  The kids LOVED the ocean (and we did too!)  It was a quiet morning and no one was around so we had this beautiful beach all to ourselves.

Then we headed back to the zoo. 

We didn’t end up staying long because it was hot and hilly and Joshua just wanted to go back to Sea World.  So after lunch we headed for Sea World again.

Olivia was not as scared of the characters today, and we actually got some pictures with her this time.  Can you tell my kids loved the Sesame Street area?

We watched the dolphin show because it was so spectacular, although this time we did not sit in the splash zone.

We also spent a lot of time out the tide pools looking at and picking up sea stars.

Then back to play at Sesame Street.

We spent the afternoon/evening just doing whatever the kids were interested in and they had so much fun.  We stayed until the park closed and then tried to keep the kids awake to go get some dinner.  I think we totally wore them out this day.
On just a little side note, the first day we went to the store and picked up some food for lunches, but somehow Andrew and I both failed to notice that there was no mini fridge in our room.  So this is our creative solution to keep the milk and sandwiches cold, a make shift cooler.  We filled the garbage can with ice wrapped in towels and placed in front of the AC.  We just replaced the ice every time we came back and it worked like a charm.
