Birthday with Shamu

Took Friday (My birthday!) off to drive down to San Diego and visit Shamu~


The drive down was longer than I remembered... I'm not used to driving from West LA.


Sleepy heads took a nap after the "ABC game".








Planning the itinerary... how to pack the most shows in one day?


Yona and a 2,343 year old sea turtle.




Flamingos are stinky.


Steve likes stinky flamingos.


So chipper these two are.






My favorite show of the day -- watching dogs, cats and a pig do tricks at the Pets Rule! show.


Why isn't Lulu that smart?? :(


Jaws of terror.


Manatee house of love.




I love penguins!


Yona and Jamie in a polar bear cave.


Yay for funnel cake!


Arrived early for the famed dolphin show.


Harshest dolphin critiques ever.


Sea Lion naptime... they remind me of Lulu...


Steve likes cactus gardens.










$10 cup of hot cocoa...


And we ended the night with Shamu Rocks!
