Day 2 in San Diego

So on day 2 in San Diego we went to Sea World while Daddy was in meetings. The kids had a lot of fun seeing the different animals. We went to all the shows and it reminded me of when when I was a kid. The Sea Lion Show is as funny as ever and Shamu is still pretty cool. My daughter liked the dolphins and Shamu the most while I think my sons favorite was feeding the Sea Lions.

Below we are looking at the dolphins.

Here we are feeding the Sea Lions. We discovered why you shouldn't hold the fish out. Because the Seagulls will try to snatch it straight from your hand. The Sea Lions in on the rock were funny. You would throw a fish to one and the other would yell at you as if they were wondering why we didn't throw it at them. The one in the front made me laugh because I was asking my son if he wanted to feed the Sea Lion and the Sea Lion started nodding his head. As if I was asking if he wanted a fish.

The Sea Turtles were huge.

Shamu was as cool as ever.

We stopped for lunch before we saw the dolphin show. My daughter enjoying her hot dog. Luckily no Seagulls tried to snatch this out of her hand. We saw a kid in a stroller eating a churro and he lost it to the daring Seagulls.

My son fell asleep before eating so hear he is. When he woke up the only thing he really wanted was crackers and cheese.

The Dolphin Show was theatrical. At points it was a diving musical ballet of sorts about birds and next thing you know there were actually Dolphins in the show. My daughter liked watching the performers fly through the air and seeing the tricks that the dolphins could do.

When we finished at Sea World my husband had finished his meetings for the day. So we headed to Old Town where we checked out the Mormon Battalion Center. This place reminded me nothing of my childhood. They gave this place a whole new makeover. It is definitely more kid friendly now and very interactive. Here we are in the covered wagon.

During the tour we went into a room that represented a place the Soldiers camped as they planned and rested while on their trek to San Diego. Here my daughter got to try on a bonnet.

One of the fun things is as you went through the tour they had a video going that appeared like people were knocking on windows and talking to you. It was pretty fun.

This represented a camp site.

They even have a prop set up like an old camera so you can take a picture and be an Honorary Member of the Mormon Battalion and you can send it straight to your email as well as print out a copy just for you all free of charge.
At the end you could pan for gold. Where was this fun stuff when I was a kid?

After the Mormon Battalion Center we met Grandma and Grandpa for dinner at an outdoor Mexican Restaurant. Which for some reason I can't remember the name. However it had great food and a fun environment. My son woke up for dinner and they enjoyed the musicians that came to our table.
