San Diego Trip – Day 2

It’s Day 2 of our trip and today we are going to the San Diego Seaworld!!! Mummy was excited…maybe more than Mal. It was Sunday and by the time we were ready to set off, it was about 10 and we had just missed the breakfast in the hotel which closed at 10 am. We were there in time to only get a bowl of Froot Loops for Mal. But it was ok…cos we were contemplating whether to have tim sum for brunch…so with this…we headed straight for Tim Sum at this chinese restaurant .

The place was very nicely done up…so far…the nicest chinese restaurant that we had been to. It was packed and we had a sumptuous lunch and were all set for the big adventure…San Diego SEAWORLD!!!

It was a cloudy day…but the cloud started to break up around afternoon time and the weather was nice and warm. It was around 1 in the afternoon when we reached and we were just in time to catch the Sea Lion show. Then followed by the Dolphin show…then the Killer Whale show. Mal was already very tired when we got there cos it was his nap time. But he managed to hold his sleep and watch the 1st 2 shows. He gave in to zzzzz monster for the Killer Whale show and doze off on Mummy’s shoulder. We enjoyed all 3 shows and it was an eye opener for us….esp Mummy, ?? and Mal. We even fed and patted the dolphins. It was really quite an experience for us, definitely for Mal too.

There were so much to see and do in the seaworld but we only had half a day. The weather was abit chilly so we did not try those water play thing in the park. Would be great to come in summer as all of us can get drenched and dry in the sun!

For dinner, we went to Thai restaurant which was recommended by a friend. Food was good and again by the time we reach back hotel…we were all so so tired. Had a quick shower for Mal and he was off to sleep almost immediately. zzzzzzz

start the morning with some cereals…
for us…only coffee…
luckily we found the tim sum place…look at the spread…
yummy!!!
the adventure at San Deigo Seaworld begins…
us… at the entrance of the Seaworld…
finally…someone to take a picture for us
it was just the beginning…but Mal was already feeling tired as it was his nap time…he clung on to Mummy when he saw this cute ugly penguin!
saw the revolving tower ride behind ?? and Mal…it will bring you up and I think the view must be very nice…but we did not try…this is one of the things we skipped
ooi…what’s these?!
they are the sea lions…trying to reach out for the fishes the audiences were giving away
Mal kinda woke up seeing these new creatures
but he was abit scared cos they were making so much funny noises…
this is the stage for the sea lions performance…
look at the crowd!!!
they were so well trained!
next we proceed to the Dolphin show
another huge crowd…and we only managed to get seats for the 3 of us…Daddy had to stand
a volunteer with the whale…duno what whale is this…
and the kid that volunteers as well…she is only 4 but so brave…wonder Mal can be like that when he is 4??!!
dolphins performing…it was like what you see on TV just that BETTER!!!ain’t they cute…those audiences in the front got all drenched cos the dolphins splashed water at them on purpose :)
by the time we got to the Killer Whale (Shamu) show…Mal gave in to zzzzzz monster
so this was what he missed
and this….
and this….they were huge!
while waiting for Mal to wake up …. we found a place to chill out…and Mummy got a huge ice cream waffle where the 3 of us share!
luckily Mal woke up in time to savour the last few bites of the ice cream!
his sleepy face with ice cream stained mouth!portrait drawing…so cute…Mummy was so tempted to get this done for Mal…but it was not cheap…think around USD 22 each
after the nap…we continue our adventure…
Mummy held on to Mal while feeding the dolphins at the same time…and Mummy got to pat the dolphins as well…but Mal wasn’t so excited about patting and feeding the dolphins
hullo Mr Egret!!! waiting to snatch the fishes from the dolphins ??
he was contented watching the dolphins swimming through the glass…at least he knew that the glass will protect him from the dolphins :)
moooo….and mummy….Daddy had this shot very well taken…can you tell actually Mummy is not so close to the moooo??
they called this place the shipwreck…it was very nicely done up with restaurant and water play thing….
?? at the shipwreck…
this is the water play thing we skipped at the shipwreck…but we found some cheap thrill…that is…pay 25 cents and get to shoot water jets at these people…heheh…
actually getting around the seaworld is not so easy as in the cartoon map they provided was not very accurate….we took quite a while to locate these flamingos…??’s favourite!!! Bird in the SeaWorld
finally….a picture of Daddy….with the red bir
ds!!!
a picture of M&M…Mummy and Mal :)
still at the seaworld…more scenic shot of the place…

    The M&M pic looks really nice. Shd consider blowing it up. Come to think of it, Mal is really more like Mum now. Previously like dad. How kids’ looks change. Even Keegen is like that.

    Really look like a great trip! Mal definitely looked happy whenever there is FOOD!
