After a fun day at Sea World on Monday, we decided to spend Tuesday just hanging around the hotel. A little swimming and relaxation... and almost no picture taking during the day, except these:
The kids in their bunkbeds! They have their own space, and they love it.
The big event of the day was dinner with my cousin Lanaya and her fiance Kevin at the famous Corvette Diner in San Diego!
Lanaya and Kevin were kind enough to brave rush-hour traffic coming into San Diego from her home in Carlsbad to meet us, and the kids couldn't wait to meet them. Here they are on the lookout.
Here we are, after a great dinner! It was really, really fun visiting with them. Deacon was extremely impressed with Lanaya, an Environmental Engineer with extensive knowledge of water systems and treatment. She was also an Elite level gymnast in her youth, competing against olympians of her era and at one time ranked 30th in her sport. He said later, "I really enjoyed the conversation."
The Corvette Diner has games, too! Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale... of Deacon playing pinball. Gilligan's Island pinball.
Mommy and Maren square off for some air hockey.
Deacon, ready for Ultimate Air Hockey with Daddy.
Maren raced a motorcycle through Yosemite!
Happy to be on vacation!
Deacon tries the motorcycle race. He's racing against the kid to his left, who won.
Daddy, WWII flying ace!
Maren won 70 tickets from the games. Her prize: chattering teeth!
Today we went to the world-famous (and very, very large) San Diego Zoo. Derek tells me he took 180 pictures... if I can whittle them down to a few blog-worthy pics by tomorrow, I'll have a Day 3 post before the day is over.
