San Diego, CA

Can we say tourist? Yep, that's exactly what we were. There's nothing wrong with that, but I wanted to get a better feel of San Diego.

I went with my sister, her family, and my mom. I don't care for plane rides any more. Take-off and landing are always cool, but the 4-5 hours in between just makes me feel sick, especially if there's turbulence, and I feel like there always is. 

For those of you that know me, you know that I am by no means a morning person. Thanks to the jet lag, I became a morning person. I was tired by 10pm and up by 6:30am. Who knew? But that worked out well for the type of trip we were going to have, a family vacation. And the weather there was perfect. Always, all day and every day. Mid-70s, sunny, green, beautiful. The flowers flourished like it was a cartoon. It was unreal. 

The first day we went to Sea World. I've forgotten just how cool dolphins are. Sea World was great, even if we spent most of the day waiting in line for one thing or another. Do I need to say more about Sea World? I think it's kind of a given. The next day we headed to the zoo. We took the bus tour that covered 70% of the zoo. It truly is an amazing zoo. I have no doubt why it's the #1 zoo in the country. Unfortunately, our time there was short. Although I feel if we would have spent the entire day there it still would have felt short. I saw the Meerkats and that's probably all that matters. We did take the bus tour that covered 70% of the zoo, and it was worth the sunburn. The other days we took it easy, pools, beaches, Belmont Park. Yes, definitely a family vacation. And although my family may think I didn't have fun, I had a blast. It's them I have to thank for that. 

I would like to come back to San Diego for a different experience. Perhaps there will be a San Diego, CA - Part II. But for now, we're moving on...
