I've spent a lot of effort to make sure they like water. So of course the first thing we did was go on a water ride where you get wet!
We saw lots of neat sea life.
Including our friends from Nemo.
We also went to the show to watch Shamu - the killer whales. We sat way down low in the "soak section". We even got in line early to make sure we could get a seat down there. When the show was starting, we noticed the soak section wasn't very full. We looked behind us and noticed that everywhere else in the stadium was jam packed. I suppose people don't like getting wet?
Well, we got VERY wet! The whales are "trained" to splash water on those in front - and we sure did get wet! I don't think everyone appreciated it very much - but it was still neat to be so close to the whales.
The next morning we went to Old Town San Diego and visited the Mormon Battalion site. I had no idea that the Mormon Battalion had such a huge influence on early California history! The kids even had activities, like panning for gold and washing clothes! The tour was amazing and very well done!
We also went to the beach off of Coronado Island. This would be where the Ragnar relay would finish. We found some sand dollars.
We went to the Tide Pools on Point Loma. We saw anemones, crabs, and other creatures.
We also went the light house on Point Loma and had a great view of San Diego and the bay.
We also saw some Navy activity - including some rotary wing activity at sea and a submarine leaving port.
One our way out, we also stopped by the San Diego temple, one of the most amazing looking buildings.
