San Diego, Part II

Today was spent visiting the USS Midway and the Wild Animal Park. The Midway is a decommissioned aircraft carrier. It was amazing to see the tight quarters on the ship. I don't know how any can live on a boat for months at a time, let alone so close to everyone else.

The Wild Animal Park was a lot like the San Diego Zoo but with more space for the animals. It was nice to see the animals outside of the small cages. We only spent a few hours at the park because we spent so much time at the Midway.

Yesterday we went to Sea World. Shamu's show was my favorite part. I also really enjoyed the shark exhibition, which had many different kinds of sharks to observe.

The week has been a blast but also very tiring. Every night the kids have crashed hard, giving the adults a much needed break.

San Diego, Part I

San Diego doesn't know what has hit 'em. Our family, along with my parents, grandparents, the Morgans, and Uncle Larry have trekked down to San Diego for a week's vacation. Yesterday we all went to the San Diego Zoo. Dillon's favorite part was the guerrillas and monkeys. Connor was just happy to be outside all day.

After the zoo, the guys went to the Dodgers-Padres game. We were hoping to see the Dodgers clinch the NL West with a win but they lost a close game, 3-1. The seats were great and cousin Nick was able to join us. Nick is going to San Diego State and took time away from his studying to hang out with us.

I have a ton of pictures but can not upload them at the time because the Internet connection at the hotel is very slow.
