Phew!! Thanks to our busy amusement park schedule, Patrick is on track to log 100,000 steps on his fitbit this week. While we've have an absolute blast, we're feeling tired and are looking forward to seeing more of southern California at a more relaxed pace. It turns out the hotel we booked for this six day leg of the trip is actually a resort with a huge kids pool, an arcade room with x-box, air hockey, a number of video game machines, a kids club with activities like smores around the firepit, and a large kids play area. There is also an olympic size adults only pool. I picked it because of its' proximity to Legoland and because of the huge flower field right next to it.
We visited Sea World yesterday in 90 degree weather. We sat in the soak zone at the Killer Whale show and did in fact get soaked. There is nothing like seeing that big tail pause for one moment aimed directly at you, knowing how much water is about to come your way! We also enjoyed the Dolphin show, with acrobats and high divers to go alongside the dolphins and small whales. Later, I heartily enjoyed putting quarters in the soaker machine when Patrick and the kids came around the bend in the intertube ride. Both Patrick and Otis have pranked me at home by putting a rubber band around the sprayer nozzle in the kitchen sink. Revenge was sweet.

Patrick captured this fantastic dolphin jump.
About to get soaked!

Afterwards, we checked out the Village Kitchen and Pie Shoppe in Carlsbad in search of pie. When we arrived, the pie was well on it's way to being sold out, so they reserved us a slice and then also gave us a complementary half slice of a luscious apple pie.
Cheers to all of you! Hope you enjoyed PI day!
