This past weekend we all went down to San Diego to go to Sea World and the Zoo. Auntie Cilla even drove up from LA to meet us, which was really great. On Friday we got up early and headed to Sea World.
The weather was great and the park was really sparse in the morning. Avery loved looking at all the animals and really enjoyed holding the starfish at the tide pool.
We had reservations for Lunch with Shamu, however Avery wasn't really interested. Even though Shamu was only a few yards away, she was much more excited about the helicopter flying overhead. Go figure.
The highlight of the day (and maybe the weekend) was meeting Elmo at the Sesame Street Bay of Play. I was afraid she was going to be scared of him, but boy was I wrong. She gave him hugs and kisses and had a fit when we had to give the next kid his turn.
Avery loved her souvenir from the day, a Shamu stuffy.
On Saturday we decided to lay low and go to breakfast at Seaport Village, which was just behind the hotel.
After Avery's morning nap, we drove across the bridge to Coronado to play on the beach. Avery was a little hesitant about the cold water at first, but she's always braver with daddy.
After playing on the beach for a while we walked up to the Hotel Del for some ice cream.
After Avery took her afternoon nap, we headed down to the fire pit and roasted some s'mores. Avery wasn't too interested.
On Sunday we got up early to head out to the Zoo.
Avery spent a lot of the day pointing and "ooohhhhing".
We saw all of the different animals and Avery came face to face with a lion.
He walked back and forth staring at her for a few minutes, probably thinking about what a tasty appetizer she would be. She wasn't scared at all. Another highlight was the petting zoo. She liked one goat in particular and even tried to give it a kiss and feed it sticks from the ground.
Avery was all tuckered out by late afternoon.
It was a fantastic weekend and thanks to Grammy for making it all possible! Here are some more pictures...

You guys have the raddest pictures. Helps that Avery is so cute. The lion one is freaking awesome, and the one with Nate tossing the little one in the surf is pretty cool too. Happy early 4th.
