Sunday

We drove down to San Diego to enjoy our complimentary day at Seaworld...just join the military and you can enter any Anheuser Bush amusement park free in 2006! Truthfully though, we were surprised and touched by not only their appreciation of the military with their "Saluting Our Heros" campaign throughout the park...but also the short tribute video shown before the Shamu show and the trainers acknowledgement of the military families and the round of applause as they had all military members and their families stand! We were appreciative.

The day was really spent watching the different shows which the girls enjoyed. It was a little cooler that day since we were on the coast and I think we all started to get a little chilly by the time the sun was setting.
I know you're impressed with the timing of my photography...admit it!
Mckenna wanted to take a Starfish home.

A humerous highlight of the day was as we approached a Flamingo exhibit. For whatever reason, Baileigh was excited to see Flamingos. I don't have anything against the awkward looking bird, but I could go either way. She ran towards the pond filled with over 100 pink birds. "Daddy, can I feed the Flamingos?" Brad noticed the feed machines where you put a quarter in, turn the handle and out comes a hanful of food. Brad said, "Sure Baileigh, just let me find a quarter." Baileigh's surprised response was, "Flamingo's eat quarters?" That comment had the strangers around us laughing out loud, too.
We grabbed some dinner at CPK (CA Pizza Kitchen...one of our favorites!) and headed back to our home sweet home...room 252!
