"You Stay Classy, San Diego"

So I am a wee bit late in blogging our San Diego Getaway, but since this in MY family journal, I am going ahead with it anyways.
About 3 weeks ago we wanted to get in one more visit to Sea World before our passes expired, and we wanted to go when the weather would be not so intense and hot as our last go in August.  So November would be the perfect month, right?  Interestingly enough, the high temp was exactly the same as when we went in the dead of summer, but it starting cooling off earlier so it wasn't as miserable.
Millie shakin' her money maker at SeaPort Village. We are crossing our fingers that Amelia might have a future as a pole dancer.  I hear they make great money, and hardly have to pay taxes - win-win!  
We made good use out of all the time Jason spends away from home and used his hotel points for a stay at the Marriot right on the marina.  This was the view from our room, not for those afraid of heights!
Amelia LOVES dogs, and she really got into the pet show this time, so we appeased her and stayed after to say hi to all the dogs and even the pig.  (On a related pet note, thanks to the McKells for watching Sadie, and seriously, if you want to share custody I'm all for it.)
Jason shares a moment with a parrot, reliving his childhood desires to be a pirate.
Elli eating an eight dollar crepe.  Jason could not get over the price, think John Travolta and the $5 milkshake in Pulp Fiction.
The new Sesame Street play area is really fun for all ages, just look at Jason.  (And while you are looking at him, check out his new sunglasses, they took a year to pick out, but he holds strong that he IS NOT high maintenance.
Look, I made it in a picture, rare.  Amelia was very determined to get the flying Elmo that was a puppy, go figure.

Hey! It looks like a fun trip. I'm jealous of the sun! Love your new background.

You should ask me what the weather is like. I think that week was hot because of the santa ana's from your neck of the woods. Glad you had fun.
