Labor Day Weekend in San Diego

Ever have one of those trips when everything just seemed to fall into place? This happened for us on our trip to San Diego this past Labor Day weekend. The first hotel we booked at a Navy base in Coronado didn't allow children under 12 and there was no way to sneak in three very loud youngsters. So they called a hotel on another base at just the right time when a room became available (on Labor Day Weekend!!!). This new hotel was right on the beach and in close driving distance to all the great restaurants and attractions we wanted to see. What a blessing! We had a wonderful time on the beach, at San Diego Zoo, and at SeaWorld.Ella didn't want the waves to "get her" so she preferred to stay on dry ground and dig for seashells with Brooke and Mommy.

Joshua and Daddy enjoyed playing football on the beach and playing in the waves.
The coolest part of the zoo was getting to be face to face (with glass in between of course) with this sleeping lion. This picture doesn't do justice to the incredible size of this amazing creature. One paw was about the size of their heads.
This had to be the best part of SeaWorld. We got to watch Shamu play in her tank right after the park opened. Again, the picture doesn't do justice to the size of this killer whale.
Giddy with excitement!
