Spring Break

This year for spring break we started out in San Diego. We got in at 12:45am, so when we finally got up the next day it was lunch time and we found Phils BBQ which was ok, nothing great, except for their dessert, which hands down was worth it to go they had the best Whoopie Pies. Next time we will skip the food and just get dessert:)

After lunch we went to Sea World - my favorite place in California. I love Disneyland, but my favorite is Sea World.
First stop was the seals. We bought some gross fish so that Jake could feed them. He fed a couple of them, but he also fed a bird when he snatched one out of Jakes hand - so cool....

This was the cutest seal, it just kept begging for fish.


The shark tunnel is always kind of creepy ... Sharks swimming over you and hoping the glass doesn't break:)



We had the most amaing seats for the Shamu show, Big Jake was the second one into the stadium and got the seats right at the kick out where the whales come out of the water. It was so funny, even though Jake knew the whales came out right in front of us he was watching the television screen so when the whale came out in front of us, he jumped a mile:) Jacob and I couldn't stop laughing...




After seeing the Shamu show countless times over the years, it is still an amazing show and we all love it.


After leaving Sea World, we drove down by the beach trying to find someplace to eat and we saw a line in front of this little hole in the wall, so we stood with them:) and we were glad we did. They had the best burgers and fries ever, and so many options, it was a tiny and a little rough, but sooo worth it.



The next day, we were off to the zoo... Always love the zoo, but we did walk what seemed like for miles.


It was another fun day in California, the weather was perfect we were able to see all the animals, and we survived all the tourists:)


After a couple of days in San Diego we were on to Newport beach where we stayed in a beach house with Jakes sister and her family and his mom and dad....


This is the best way to do California, never realized how much I love the beach till we stayed in a beach house.....


We had such a great trip, loved the beach, zoo and Sea World and spent a lot of time with Jakes family, watching our Neice Jenny play in her vollyball tournaments, where her team took gold-I never realized how much fun vollyball is to watch till we watched her play, it was so cool. Jacob never wanted to leave, any second we were home he was out on the beach looking for whatever he could find, and that was a lot of jelly fish and shells. Cant wait to go back.
