San Diego Part IV

The next night we went to another brewpub. Tyson tried a flight, and I tried a porter.


 We were not impressed. We were so unimpressed that I don't even remember the name of it!

But we had the opportunity to check out Anne Marie's moves:





We spent our last full day in San Diego at Sea World. We'd taken Tyler there when he was one and a half years old, so it felt like it was his first time. He loves animals, and we were going to take him to the aquarium, but when he described the animals he wanted to see - sharks, dolphins, and whales, we realized we'd be better off at Sea World. 


We visited the freshwater aquarium, and spent a long time in the penguin exhibit. Tyler liked the sea lion/otter show (and we liked watching the sea lions disobey the trainers for the entire show, good for them!), he loved the show with the pilot whales, but of course, the orcas were his favorite.


After the show, we were able to get a closer look.



In the early evening, we decided to spend some time on the kiddie rides. Anne Marie and I had taken Tyler on his first roller coaster ride at the Pima County Fair, but Tyson was stuck working on a school project, and missed out. So he was especially excited to get to ride with Tyler this time. Tyler eagerly yet patiently waited for his turn to ride.


I think Tyson might have been even more excited than Tyler.


Grandma took Tyler on the eel ride, reinforcing the "arms up!" rule.


Tyler patiently waited all day for his opportunity to try cotton candy. Just look at the anticipation on his face!


Once he got it, though, he wasn't so sure that he liked it.


What an awesome day!


Saturday morning, we hit the beach one last time, then headed home.


What a wonderful vacation! Thanks Grandma Allaire!
