We survived the trip to the San Diego Zoo San Diego Zoo and Sea World. Everyone got along & there were no major meltdowns to note. The return ride in the car was getting a little long yesterday when VV claimed her tummy hurt and that she needed medicine immediately upon arriving home, but before eating her beloved Mac & Cheese for lunch.
VV just kills me sometimes. Her big thing this trip was to continually ask where her cousins, Z and R, were and what they were doing at nearly any moment they were not within sight. However, as soon as Z and R were within her midst, she would clam up. It was very cute!
Yesterday the kids were pretty tired. Fortunately, they went to bed early last night. We experienced some good sleep deprivation during the trip. This was the first time they slept together in the same bed - a pull-out couch in the front room of the so-called "suite" of the hotel. They seemed to enjoy sleeping together, until VV hid underneath the covers and Dags freaked out! It was cute overall. I think they've returned to their normal routine. But today's activities seem to be focused on naked running around the house. VV's new thing is to be in charge of changing Dags' diaper nearly every hour... Oh, the joy of being a big sister.
On Thursday we adventured to the San Diego Zoo. It certainly did not live up to the hype I've heard over the last 5 to 10 years. In all fairness, it was under construction & the weather was pretty miserable - cold and rainy.
The big hit was going to Sea World on Friday. Of course, we saw the dolphin show and Shamu. It was wonderful. From the penguins to the sharks to the dolphins, the adults were as amazed as the kids! It was pretty wild to feed the dolphins. Even Dags enjoyed that part!
Tonight, K and I get some much needed adult time - finally going to see a movie The Aviator, hoping it will live up to the hype!
Until tomorrow.....
