The next day was spent at Sea World. We watched the sea lion, dolphin and cat/dog show. I was impressed by all of the tricks that they have been trained to do. The penguin exhibit was cool but my favorite part was helping Kaylee and Rachel feed the bat rays.
There were a few various colds going around in the family. Ivan ended up getting really sick and so the next morning one of the cars had to head back to Phoenix. So Dave and I ended up staying in San Diego and being the responsible adults :) with Daniel, Katie and Christine's two oldest daughters, Kaylee and Rachel. We planned a fun day of spending some time at the beach and then another afternoon at Sea World. The best thing we saw the second day was the shark exhibit. We walked through a tube surrounded by water, it was cool when the sharks would swim right over your head and you could see all of their teeth.
Our last morning we went to Cabrillo National Monument and checked out the great views, lighthouse and did a small hike. Kaylee got her junior ranger badge and then we loaded up in the van and drove back to Phoenix.
The last few days of 2012 were spent helping Christine and Parker move across town into their new home that is closer to the rest of the family. I almost made it through the 10 day vacation without catching any illness but it got me on the last day. I think the final count was that 12 out of 14 people ended up sick. I guess that is what happens when little kids are around and then you travel in the same car together. Here is to a healthy and happy 2013!
