Sea World – San Diego, CA

Sea World.  You should totally go!  You should also take a spare camera battery with you.  Wish I listened to my own advise!

By the way, you can actually TOUCH the sea rays.  They are incredibly soft and slimy at the same time. The kids thought it was awesome touching them.  They come right up to you and stick their heads out.  Very cute!

If you do anything while at Sea World it should be riding the new ride, The Manta.  Caleb and I (in the last row of people) could have spent the whole day riding this coaster.  Keegan was just below the height requirement (48 inches) and Cliff is a roller coaster wussy so they didn’t ride at all.

There are a bunch of kiddie rides and tons of water attractions so bring your swimsuit if you come on a hot day.

Apparently I can win an impossible game and get a GINORMOUS stuffed unicorn but the lottery – not so much.  Go figure!

If you have the energy (we didn’t) Sea World has some fantastic fireworks at night and even a Shamu show that we heard was wonderful.  It’s great fun for the whole family.  Just remember to pack your own food and plan on having a picnic in their outdoor area.
