Overall we did really well with each other and now that we finally made it home we can marvel in our ability as intense individuals to come together as a family for such an long period of time.
For the entire six days we travel together Mighty Mo only had about 45 minutes total of fussy four year old behavior. He turned out to be a tremendously fun travel companion which has really allowed Mistress and I to contemplate more trips as a family.
We all ended up being really tired after Disneyland so we elected to forgo the San Diego zoo and play in the pool at the hotel and do some shopping at the mall. Oh yeah and we got to have dinner at Hooter. Yummy wings.
We still have two weeks to use the passes to other Sand Diego parks so we may take a quick overnight back there for the zoo or wildlife park.
As we were driving home, Mistress told me our next vacation should be something more active. I started to laugh because that is all I want my vacations to be and she quickly amended with, "Oh there has to be hotel rooms for sure."
Here are some shots from SeaWorld.
Mo in the stands for Cirque de Mer a water based Cirque de Soleil
Shamu flying high at his signature show. Perhaps because I was so tired from the trip but I was quite emotional for this show. Anheiser-Busch who owns SeaWorld was very patriotic to our soldiers and veterans during this show.
At Cirque de Mer, Mo wouldn't stop pulling us close and hugging us.
Turned out to make a good and quite rare full family photo.

I think THAT one should be your 07 photo :)
My husband always sighs and rolls his eyes when I ask people to take photos of all of us, but he loves the end results!
So glad a good time was had by all!
(And there's the possibility of an overnighter in the near future!)
Great family pic!
I must see that Cirque du Mer. That must have been awesome...

Great family shot - good thing you had your sunglasses on - hide your "girly man-ness" from the crowd...
That's a great shot of you guys. Isn't it great when your kid shows you some love like that?
You guys should have taken off your sunglasses (do I sound like your mother or WHAT?)- then it would have been a great Christmas card pix! (Still is a great shot tho!)
I love SeaWorld! Glad you had a great time!
Congrats on a a succesful holiday.
Stay tuned...
sounds like you guys have crossed over into the "have kid will travel" rather than the "Have baby don't travel" mode!! So glad you had such a fun family vacation!!
Looks like a fantastic holiday indeed! Sometimes these things take more planning than a Tri. :-)
Thanks for letting us virtually tag along!
