I had a lot of fun this weekend in San Diego. On Friday we went to Sea World. We went to see the dolphin, shamu, and sea lion/otter show. All three shows we really neat. One exhibit was the penguin encounter. There were Arctic penguins. They were behind a glass window and it was so cold that the workers had put real snow in the room and it didn't melt. Another exhibit was the Wild Arctic, it was right next to the penguin encounter. First, we went on a ride kind of like Star Tours in Disneyland, but it was a tour of the Arctic, not space. Then, we toured exhibits of beluga whales, a polar bear, and a walrus. That day we also looked at many other animals. On Saturday, we went swimming and went to the beach. First, we went swimming. There was a water park too. The pool was huge and it was really warm. There was also a hot tub. After we had swam for a couple of hours, we had lunch, and then went to the North Carlsbad Beach. It was really close to our hotel, in fact we could see the ocean from the hotel. The water was warmer than in Pismo Beach, but it was still cold. I didn't feel like getting wet so I just stuck my feet in. My brothers were splashing around and got almost their whole bodies wet. After that we came back to our hotel, took a shower, and chilled until dinner. My dad had to leave right when we were done with the beach because he had to go to a church. I'll write more soon.

Hi Ashlyn! This is Forrest. Sea World is one of my favorite places to go in the world. I love the sea lion/otter shows. Did you sit in the "splash zone" for the dolphin and shamu shows?
Hey Forrest. This is Ashlyn.
We sat in the splash zone for the shamu show, but we hardly got wet. We didn't sit in the "splash zone" for the dolphin show though because we had barely got to Sea World and it was starting in about 10 min. so we got there right before it started and the "splash zone" seats were all taken. In the sea lion/otter show we sat a little bit higher than the middle and it said "splash zone seats." We were really confused because we couldn't understand how water could get that high. Towards the end of the show there was a thing where the "submarine was sinking and taking in water" and water came from the sides of the stadium and splashed all over, so we got wet that show. My dad said it wasn't as good as the one we saw 4 years ago, but i hardly remember it.
Hi Ashlyn: We enjoyed hearing about Sea World since we have never been there. Sounds like you had a good time in San Diego. We are sure you are looking forward to your trip to Thailand and you will probably get this after you arrive. We will be praying for all of you.
We hope you keep blogging while there so we will learn about Thailand and what you are doing there
Love, Grandpa & Grandma Thomas
