*California Vacation!

This summer we took our family vacation to somewhere we have stayed since we were little. I was like a little kid I was so excited to go! We drove to California and stayed for a week in San Diego. We stayed at the Bahia Hotel which is right on Mission Bay. The drive was looon but it was so worth it! I love San Diego. Our hotel was so awesome and is so close to everything. The first day we went to the Wild Animal Park. I would highly recommend this over the San Diego Zoo. It was huuge! The weather was perfect and we saw a lot of cool things. That night we walked to the beach and made sand castles and played in the waves. It was the first time Bladen saw the ocean so it was pretty exciting. We ate at a little restaurant on the boardwalk! The second day was Sea World!! I love Sea World and was in heaven. I don't care how old you are it's still fun! We were there from 10am to 10pm going NON STOP! We saw every show, my favorite was the "Belive" show with Shamu. I can't get over how amazing the animals are. I could watch them all day long. The next day we spent all day at the beach! We were all sooo sun burned! It was pretty funny, we were all a wreck! Haha. That night we went to a nice dinner and just relaxed. I had so much fun and did not want to come home. The weather was perfect each day we were there, I couldn't have asked for a better vacation! The only thing that was missing was Tyler...

Here are tooons of pics:
