A brief drive to the hotel and then to the first attraction: Sea World! Sea World delivered on all it's promises and everyone loved it. The whole day was spent watching whales, dolphins, fish and other creatures of the sea and it was a very tired family who eventually got back to their hotel.
The following day was spent at an equally exciting place, the San Diego Zoo. There was so much to see at the Zoo, impossible to do everything in one day. But we managed to see the most important things and Morgan had a blast. The most memorable event for Morgan was to see the elephants which he couldn't get enough of.
After 2 days of excitement it was decided to spend the last day relaxing. At first at the hotel beach and pool and later at the beautiful beaches of northern San Diego and La Jolla. It was a very happy Morgan who took the red-eye home with mummy on Sunday evening. Both mummy and Morgan were a fair bit less content Monday morning after only 4h of bad sleep, but that is another story....
Here are some pictures of this great adventure:
We're off: it's a long flight, but Morgan relaxes with some music...
First thing we stumble upon at Sea World: Elmo's flying fish. How could Morgan resist?
Then it's time to watch the shamu-show with the killer whales
The killer whales put on an impressive show an everyone is impressed
Afterwards we get to see the killer whales in their pool!
After the killer whales it's time to watch some dolphins
A nice lunch is had outside
Then, the highlight of the day for Morgy, the Penguins!!!!
The penguins are so funny, Morgan can't stop laughing!
He even has to get penguin sandals ("fingving-shoes") and a penguin pajamas (not in the picture)
Between all the aquariums and shows there is also time to play!
There's even a 4D Elmo movie to Morgy's joy! Well, it turned out to be a bit scary in the end...
The following morning Morgy is up early in his fingving-shoes and with his killer whale!
There are so many interesting animals at the Zoo, Morgy can't take his eyes off the giraffes.
It's fun to play with the elephant statues...
...but nothing beats the real thing. The elephants are THIS BIG!
There's also a cool ski-lift at the zoo, you don't even have to wear ski-suits!
And there's time to take some cool pictures. Morgy enjoyed the moment almost as much as seeing the elephants
Watching the hippos underwater is fun and Morgy learns a new word: "hippopotame"
We also see some cool monkeys; Hard to tell if Morgan or mummy is more impressed with them ;-)
The last day Morgan and daddy go for an early morning stroll on the beach while mummy sleeps in
Finally breakfast time and Morgan creates a new dish: Porridge on toast!
Then it's time to do some family biking in the sun!
...and play some on the beach...
...and in the pool.
While Morgy is sleeping in the car mummy and daddy take turns swimming on the nice beaches of La Jolla
Then there is time for one final drink in P.B. before heading home! What a great weekend!
