San Diego vacation and Sea World

We just returned from San Diego for 2 week vacation at my parents time share right on the ocean!  We had a wonderful time and already miss the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the beach below.
We visited family and friends; took the kids for their first visits to Sea World and Disneyland twice each; played on the beach and swam in the pool; got a few date nights (Emily's nurse Beth and her daughter Kaya joined us for the 2 weeks); oh and got some much needed sun on our very pale white faces. (=
For those of you who don't know the story, Evan proposed to me at Sea World at the Dolphin Interaction Program, so it was rather sentimental to return with our kids.  And we got Tucker's name from the dolphin trainer who worked with us (we found out he is still working there but is now a Shamu trainer - too bad we couldn't get a pic with him and our Tucker!)
Here we are enjoying the Shamu show.  Tucker enjoyed it much more then we thought he would, clapping along with the crowd and mimicing Shamu splashing everyone.  Since we have been home, whenever he sees a picture of one of the animals he saw for the first time there, he says, "Oh, Sea World!" It is very cute.

Hey to all of you! What a great two weeks you had! The beach photos are terrific, Emily is just precious...Tucker looks like he is just bursting with all the new things he's experiencing, lotsa great things to talk about now! Dad and I w3ish we could have been there, that would have meant a lot to us, since we took you and Paul so often while you were growing up...Now you know how much fun WE had, too! We loved it so much we bought passes both to Seaworld and to Disneyland for the family, remember?! Thank you for these fantastic photos, I can't wait to sit down with Tucker and have a "Disney/Seaworld" chat! The cats were interesting to take care of while you were gone, they missed you terribly...they wouldn't let me leave until I sat down for a proper rubdown and chat! You obviously have such a loving home...Thanx again for the pics! Love, Mimi P.S. I LOVE the photo of you and Emily at Disneyland! Got a copy?!
