Every year we say we are going to take a nice family trip while Michael is in his off season, and this year we actually followed trough. I believe this is the first trip ofits kind for our faamily - we went without any extended family members. It was just us. I'm pretty sure it's the first time that has happended! Anyway, we had a blast. We spent two whole days in Sea World, which allowed us to see every little star fish and barnicle. We were able to feed the dolphins and the sea lions. It was so amazing! The dolphins were my favorite part. We saw all the shows, and even got drenched by some whales.
Our hotel was right on the bay and I was able to go jogging along the bay in the mornings. We visited the beach a few times where Joshua and Michael loved the ocean waves, and Andrew ran from them screaming for his life.
We also found time to visit a historic lighthouse, visit Torrey Pines golf course, and stop for a while at the San Diego Temple.
The kids got sick on the drive home, which was a vomity-on-the-car-upholstry nightmare, but all a part of the adventure! We stopped over in Las Vegas for the night and enjoyed a half day seeing sights on the strip. We even lost Michael for a while, but thanks to a mini-miracle we found eachother again. The weather was beautiful the entire time which was such a nice break from Cache Valley winter!

Sounds like a fun trip minus the vomiting. I am glad you had such a good time.
Sea World was one of my favorite places to visit when I was a kid. Cache Valley winters are great, especially this year.
Looks warm and nice. Thanks for putting up those pictures, I really wanted to see them for a long time.
Those dolphins have some teeth! What a change from the "cache valley winter" for sure!
I am so glad you had such a wondeful trip. I still remember our first vacation that didn't involve visiting family! Our family loves the beach and I love "walking" along it for exercise. I would love to have your family join ours for a beach vacation (or any of you Barlow Clan...you are all welcome and invited) We love the warm weather and sand!
