3 Boys VS 1 Girl

What a day! We spent about 6 hours or so at Sea World. We saw lots of neat shows and sea creatures. Cousin Cody found a very friendly bat ray who stayed by us for quite some time.
Our car rides have been very interesting................RAP music. And the boys like it and Nessie does not!! I can't understand many of the words. Guess I am really getting OLD!!!!!

More Fun!

Today we went to a Del Mar beach. We buried Tyler in the sand. Cousin Cody dug the trench. Tyler and Cody found some bigger waves. We took a very long walk on the beach. We went to lunch at a place called The Fish Market. It was delicious. Then we drove down Hwy. 101 and looked around. At night, we went into San Diego and found the longest pier around. Today we are headed to Sea World. I can't wait to see the sea creatures.

I forgot my cord for the camera so I am unable to download pictures. However, I will do that when I get home and post them.

La Jolla and Del Mar

Today we arrived in San Diego. Everything went as planned. The timing was perfect with our flight and Cody's flight. We headed immediately to the beach at La Jolla, and we walked the streets. Craig, Cody and Tyler tried some boogy boarding. They ventured out pretty far. I just kept counting heads..............1,2 and 3. I knew I had everybody. I stayed ashore. The water was "freezing" in my opinion. The boys told me it wasn't. Ya right boys!!! We then headed to Del Mar. It was a fun day!!!

Back on the Ranch

It is Sunday and back into the routine again. Church in the morning and housework in the afternoon. We planted flowers today. PopPop and Engineering Craig are installing a new microwave now. Yes, we went about 8 months without one. Back to work for Craig tomorrow. Tyler and I are still on vacation!!!!

Hawaiin Party!







It was our last day on the island, and we went to a leiu. We saw an amazing sunset. The leiu was on the west side of the island right next to the Marriot (the Marriot that the Pro Bowl football players stayed at).






We are back at home now. Resting...actually doing "things" to the house.

Back to the Bay







It was back to the bay today. We learned about the history of Hanauma Bay. It was formed by a volcano. The Polynesians fished in this area long ago. At one time, the bay was occupied by royalty. One would sing or dance to get in. I did my version of the "Royalty" dance for Tyler and Craig. I don't think my dance would have passed the royalty test. Craig and Tyler snorkeled for a VERY long time. He came to shore and zonked out (as you can see by the picture). We are not too sure what the plan is for tomorrow. We will keep you posted.

Pearl Harbor




Today we played tennis and went to Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor made us sad. So many people lost their lives. Did you know that the U.S. spotted planes on the radar the morning of Dec. 7th? However, they believed the planes belonged to the U.S. The USS Arizona Memorial is treated just as a memorial should be treated. They are very strict in making sure that respect is shown to those soldiers. There is to be very little talking while at the memorial site. The picture on the right is part of the USS Arizona that can be seen from the memorial.

How small is this world? It is so busy here, and I run into Brad Tooker at Pearl Harbor!
Plans for tomorrow- SNORKELING!
