Southern California Trip Part 1 - Seaworld



















We surprised Talia and Tucker at the end of April and took a trip to southern California for 6 days. We stayed in Anaheim and spent 3 days in Disneyland, a day in Seaworld and a day in Legoland. We had a WONDERFUL time and loved spending time together as a family. We flew into Anaheim Sunday evening and went to Seaworld on Monday. We were able to watch a dolphin show, sea lion show, Killer Whale show and a pet show. There were some fun rides but the shows were definitely the highlight of the day until we surprised the kids with a dolphin experience where they actually got into the water with a dolphin and were able to spend 25 minutes with a couple of different dolphins. There were 6 people in the group and one trainer. We have some great pictures and Talia and Tucker had permagrin the whole time. It was so fun to watch how much they were enjoying themselves.

We stayed at the Desert Palms Hotel and Suites. It was a nice hotel with an outdoor pool. The outdoor pool was surrounded by 4 walls of hotel rooms but the top was open. The air was a little cool at night but the water was pretty warm. The kids loved the pool and it was right up there with the themeparks. Every night we came home the parks the kids could hardly wait to swim. One day while we were at Disneyland Tucker asked if we could go back to the hotel and swim. There are lots of pictures so enjoy!

What a cool trip! It sounds like a lot of fun! I like the science projects and would love to see those pictures as well. When are you going to know if you will be around the end July? I'm anxious for you!
