We had such a wonderful trip. Even though we were on the go from the moment we touched down at LAX it was such a fun memorable trip. We arrived in LA around 9:15, 11:15 Texas time. It was our first time to have all day Thursday and even with the early wake up call ( we were at the Midland airport around 5:45am) it was nice to have the whole day! Hudson was exhasted so he napped about 30 min on the plane. Friday morning we woke up and loaded 7 deep in the mini van Dad rented for 2 days. (My step brother Matthew and his girlfriend Leah joined us.) The drive from Palmdale to SD is supposed to be aroun 3 hours. About 4 stops laster and some serious rain in Los Angeles we arrived about 5 hours later. We checked in to our resort and let me just say ::: BREATH TAKING! It lives up to it's name. Paradise Point. Hud, Cody and I had our own room where our back door lead to a patio and the San Diego bay.
It was a little overcast and sprinkling but it was still beautiful. We loaded back up and headed to get something to eat in Old Town. A beautiful part of SD right down the street from us. They had a pineapple chipotle margarita on the menu and it was THE best marg I have ever had.
The place was called Cafe Coyote and I highly recommend it if you are ever in the area. They had amazing calamari. It was huge and fried. It looked like a cheese stick. As soon as we were done and waiting on the check, the sun came out and it warmed up! Just in time to check out and shop in Old Town. They had super cute little shops. T-shirts and souvenirs, candy and fudge shops, jewelry and nick nacks. They also had the most amazing churros! I haven't had a churro in years! It was delish. We got back to the resort and little Huddy Q was so tired he passed out early. The rest of the gang hung out on the back patio and enjoyed the view until it started raining again!
We woke up early Saturday morning to get ready to see "Shampoo" <--isn't that the cutest? That's what Hud calls Shamu. We headed to Shamu first thing. The show started 15 min after we got there and of course, Dad suggested we sit in the SOAK ZONE! The sun peeked in and out of the clouds and it was a cool 50 degrees. But he convinced us to do it anyway, then bought a $20 Shamu towel just in case we did get "soaked." (We didn't, thank goodness)
Hudson was so amazed! I was watching him more than I was the whales.
We headed over to Seasame Street and rode Elmo's Flying Fish and let him run around and play on all the cool things they had. Cody and I were just as amazed at everything as Hudson was. I haven't been to Sea World in about 10 years.
We stayed and watched the dolphin show, watched Elmo in 4D, enjoyed hot dogs and turkey legs and rode a few more rides. When it was time to leave, he was so tired and crashed as soon as we got him in his car seat. He was so good the whole time, even on the long car ride there and back. Sea World SD trip = SUCCESS! We stayed most of the day Sunday in Palmdale. Cody golfed and I shopped and we headed to the airport around 3 to catch our 5pm flight. Until next time California <3......
