More of San Diego

After a long day at SeaWorld we went back to the convention center to pick up Papa and have dinner before heading back to the hotel.

Here is Josie filling Papa in on all the things that she saw that day at SeaWorld. The highlights she made sure to tell Papa included: she fed a sea lion, she wants to swim with Shamu when she grows up, and the long list of all the other animals that she saw that day!
For dinner we went down to Seaport Village. It is a beautiful spot by the water that has all kinds of shops and restaurants. We walked for a while and the girls were happy to be out of the stroller and running around. They must of looked like they were having a lot of fun running and climbing on the sculptures in the park because Papa joined right in. Mom and Dad were tired from a long day of pushing around the huge double stroller, so we enjoyed watching the kids have fun.

After we had a great dinner at the Edgewater Grille, Papa had a special surprise for Josie. There was a carousel in the park. Josie loves to ride the carousel, she rides just about everyone she sees. So Josie and Ellie picked out a couple of horses and took a spin! This carousel was hand carved in 1895 and had been moved a handful of times before ending up in it's current home in Seaport Village.


Because of Josie's love of riding carousel's Ellie has, at a young age, become a pro and loves to ride along with her sister. When Josie was Ellie's age she had no interest all in riding, but because of mom and dad's persistence she quickly changed her mind and has been in love with them since just before her second birthday when the local mall got a 2 story carousel. Ellie being our little adventurer has loved them since day one. It also probably helps that she wants to do EVERYTHING that big sister does!
