Last Day in San Diego:(

I can't believe that my vacation in San Diego is coming to a close. I had the time of my life here and Carly and Chris are the best. From Coronado, the zoo, sea world, disney, and obstacle course I had so much fun! Today we went back to Coronado to get some more stuff and we also went to Old Town and toured the Whaley House that is supposedly haunted. Can't wait to go back to San Diego. See ya soon!!!

The Base.

We decided to take it easy today after a week full of adventures, Coronado, The Zoo, Sea World, and Disney. I didn't wake up until ten this morning. In the afternoon we sat around and chill-axed for a while. Later on we went to the base on Coronado. We did the obstacle course. It looked so easy but trust me it wasn't. I tried everything but failed almost everything except the log balance.haha. It was soooooo much fun. But I probably wouldn't survive if I had to do this for training. After that we went to Starbucks and I had coffee cake and ice tea. California has been amazing and I don't want to leave I belong here. This vacation went by so fast. It stinks. I'll defiantly come back soon.

Base Day

Well i finally did the O-Course. It was quite painful. There were a bunch of obstacles, but i could only do most of them because the other ones involved my life being in danger. Maybe i exagerated that a wee bit. Not life threatening, but potentially physically damaging. But the ones i could do, there were only 2 i could not finish. But overall it was pretty fun, and exhausting.

D-Day (Disneyland)

Disneyland was pretty much heaven. Disney consists of awesome rides, scary rides, mediocre rides, and lots and lots of food. My two top rides were Space Mountain and Pirates of the Carribean. The Tower of Terror was actually pretty scary, like, REALLY scary, for a first timer anyways. We stayed at Disney all day and left around 11 at night. It was really funny when we thought we were going into a resturaunt, but we were really going into a sour dough tour. After being locked in, me, carly, chris, and danika had to wait for a while, and then we finally escaped, warning people as we went by. Overall, Disney was wicked fun. Going out to Coronado. BYE!

Disney!

Yesterday we went to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure. The first park we went to was California Adventure. We went on the Tower Of Terror and California Screamin. The Tower Of Terror is like an elevator that is supposedly broken. It's wicked fun! California Screamin is a roller coaster that has a loop that goes around mickey mouse's head but its ears were missing.:( Then we went to this bread place that we thought was a restaurant but it was a tour thing and we were stuck inside. Finally we ate and went to Disneyland. The first ride we went on there was Pirates of the Caribbean and there was an Asian guy in a winter coat in front of us sleeping. It was hysterical. The other rides we went on were Thunder Mountain, Pinocchio Daring Adventure, Space Mountain, Buzz Light year, The Jungle Cruise, and more but I can't remember. I don't know if you remember the Tiki Tree House mom but we went in it and it was a horrible show. We got back to the house around 1:00ish and I was so tired so I went to bed.

Our Day at Sea World

We had a good day at Sea World, although Chris didn't go :( When we got there, it was kind of getting late. People were leaving while we were getting there, but we still went in anyways. After we got in we tried to decide what exhibit to look at first, and we saw the seals because carly said they were cool, which they were pretty funny...and smelly. Next, i said that i wanted to see the sharks, so we went and saw the sharks. After we walked through the creepy tunnel, we went to see the dolphins. We had the chance to touch them, but i kind of had a bad feeling about that because there were signs saying splash zone. Just as i noticed that sign, a couple dolphins at once splashed Danika and EVERYONE was laughing as hard as we could because she was SOAKED. After we just saw all the other exhibits, and they were cool. Then we went to Old Town, which was this little mexican town settled by mexicans before it became america. Then we went home and watched TV and wet to bed because we had to get up early for disney tomorrow! :D so bye.

SeaWorld

Today we went to Sea World. The first thing we saw were the seals and sea lions. They would perform and bark for you to throw them food. It was pretty funny. The second thing we did was going into this tunnel where the sharks would swim over your head. It was a little scary. After that we went over to the dolphins. You could put your hands out and sometimes they will come to you. While I was I waiting for one to come to me a dolphin came over and splashed water all over me. I got soaked!! After we observed the dolphins we went to a dolphin show. The dolphins did flips, jumps, tricks, and swam around in the pool. One dolphin, named Dolly jumped so high. It was amazing!! When the show was over we went to some other exhibits. My favorite one was the man rays and sting rays. You could actually touch them! They were so slimy but cool. As we were leaving one man ray started flipping out and splashing water everywhere. Haha. We left Sea World and went to Old Town in San Diego. It was very Mexican because that's where they settled before California was part of the United States. It smelled like Mexican food. mhmmmm yummy. We went back to Carly's and ate. We played a game called In a Pickle It was pretty fun and I'd definitely play it again. Well going to bed now. Carly will put up pictures later. :)Danika
