A visit to San Diego

We went to San Diego this weekend for Aunt Anne's 60th Birthday. It was a surprise and was so fun. The family had a beach house in Mission Beach and we all just enjoyed the company and the surroundings. Syd had her first experience with sand and the ocean. She met her cousin Van who is just 3 weeks older than her and a total boy. He's got lots of energy and ran circles around her. Dave and I took her to Sea World and she went on her first carousel ride. We had a great time.

At Sea World we saw flamingos, seals and sea lions, dolphins, whales, beluga wales, polar bears, penguins, sea otters, sharks, manatees, lots of birds and so many kids you wouldn't believe it. Sometimes that's all it takes to entertain Sydney.









We were at the beach and the sand was okay after a bit, but the fresh water shower was the biggest hit.






Syd loves her 'Bampa' and there was a lot to see coming down the boardwalk.







I know it's long, but she was having so much fun.
