We left Little Rock Wednesday evening for our first vacation of 2013. We were headed to California! We found out shortly after loading the plane that there would be an alternate route and delay the plane would take due to heavy thunderstorms. The pilot headed south, but we ended up making our connecting flight in Denver.
By the time we arrived in Denver, little Miss Caroline needed to be asleep, but she was still going strong. She finally went to sleep for about thirty minutes of the final flight. She did great on her first flight, but did not care for the seat belt. We arrived at our hotel in San Diego at midnight Cali time.

Here are a few of our favorite attractions/animals of the day...
Late afternoon we took a gondola ride over the bay. I was not able to take many pictures, but it was a peaceful ending to a perfect day.
NOW...ALL DAY we felt REALLY bad for Caroline because several times we sat in soak zones at different shows and she would not get splashed, she was not tall enough to ride the water rides, and we did not bring her swimsuit in for the splash pad. SO...we stayed for the very last Shamu show and headed back to the see the show AGAIN. Matt stayed in the top section away from the water since he had the electronics, and Caroline and I headed to front and center soak zone. I was a determined mother that I was going to get that little miss soaked. All Caroline wanted was just a little splash....Well as you can see we got SOAKED.
If you look to the very middle of the picture you will find us. I am wearing a DRY green shirt and Caroline is in my lap. We are calling for the Shamu Splash!!
...and we got the SHAMU SPLASH... SOAKED
Cheers to a memorable first day of vacation. Today we are headed to Old Town San Diego, Embarcadero, Gas Lamp District, and Coronado.
