California - Sea World

Our first morning in California I made a quick run to the grocery store so that we would have something quick and easy for breakfast for each morning, and so that we would have plenty of snacks while we were on the go all the time.  I hate having to buy snacks in the parks with how overpriced they were.  Then it was off to Sea World San Diego.  The kids weren't really excited to be back in the car again, but oh well.  They were excited to see the ocean for the first time in their lives, and that made up for having to be in the car.  again.

The last couple of times that Zander and I have been to California, we've gone to SeaWorld and really had a great time.  And this trip didn't disappoint either.  The boys love going to the zoo and the aquarium when we're at home, so imagine their surprise and delight when they get to see killer whales, polar bears, dolphins, walruses etc up close and in real life.

 

Towards the later afternoon, Noah decided it was definitely time for a nap.  He passed out for about an hour while the rest of us got some lunch.  He woke up just in time to get himself some spoils from the gift shop.  Unfortunately, due to Kaiden's food allergy, just about the only thing he could eat in the entire park was previously frozen strawberries, and jello.  Under normal circumstances he would have passed out like Noah did, but he had enough sugar going through him that he kept on trucking until we were about halfway back to Anaheim.
