Merry Christmas!

We have had a very merry holiday season around these parts and it's not over yet thanks to a nice long vacation for all of us. We've enjoyed lots of much needed family time and relative 'down time'.  Unfortunately, we also have the plague, so we are looking forward to being healthy for the second half of our vacation.
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday as well!

Sea World!

After a lovely Thanksgiving Day spent with family, we met up with some dear friends and headed off to Sea World. It's the first time I've been in a LONG time (high school, maybe?) and I'd been told many times its great for E's age.  I saw that we could go for the rest of this year and all 2013 on a ticket, so this was a perfect opportunity to drop the cash.  I'll share the rest in pictures!

getting a 'dad's eye' view

Petting gooey manta rays

Seeing the Shamu show

E was impressed :)

In the shark tunnel - falls into the blurred but cool category

Megalodon

Sea turtles

This was supposed to be for Christmas cards, but he wouldn't smile...

The penguin tank needed a squeegee...so these are the best pics I got

Looks like they are holding hands :)

Riding the tea cups

E got into it!

And with that...we are ready for the Holiday season :)
