Prentis Family: San Diego Vacation

What do you do when the local news reports EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING for the upcoming weekend? That's right....You get the heck out of town! So Paul, Ava and I took off on a 5 1/2 hour drive to San Diego!

Our 1st stop was Sea World! Paul and I haven't been to Sea World in a long time and it was Ava's first time. She was so excited to go. Her cousins had been telling her about Shamu ever since they came back from their trip. She already knew how to do the SHAM SLAM!

The 3 of us waiting for Shamu. Yes...we were in the SOAK ZONE!

SHAMU!

Ava didn't enjoy the soaking part while it was happening, but afterwards all she could talk about was "SHAMU ALL WET!" I think she secretly enjoyed it. Later that night we even dined with Shamu 3 feet from the tank! It was so much fun!

Ava also got to go to the 4D Sesame Street show with Elmo! Where, AGAIN, we got wet. I don't think I will be able to get Ava into a movie theatre any time soon.

Here are some pictures from around the park.

Our next stop was the beach! What a day. I think everyone else had the same idea. We had a terrible time finding a parking spot, but we finally got the the beach!

It was such a beautiful day! You couldn't even feel the sun...therefore...I forgot sunblock on myself! I did, however, remember to coat Ava really well, but my back is as red as a lobster. It's 2 days later and it still hurts. I can't believe it. I'm 30 years old, live in AZ and you would think by now I would remember sunblock. Oh well!
