Day+2

Day 2 the kids woke up ready to see the sights and boy did we cover some ground today! We started with a boat ride out into the Pacific for whale watching. On the way out we saw the biggest pod of dolphins I've ever seen. They were jumping and riding along side the boat, hundreds of them. Of course I forgot about the camera, so I don't have photos of that, but many of them do! There were also a number of sea lions and a few birds who thought we were going to feed them. Little did they know, we are accustomed to the sky rats and know better. After we saw 8 whales and a very thick layer of smog over Mexico, we headed to the San Diego Zoo for lunch and some free time. I took lots of pictures, some of kids some of animals, you can decide which is which. I am broken hearted that Jack did not get to see a Tapir:( Finally, we headed to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and then the Maritime Museum to see submarines and tall ships. Are you tired yet (we are!)? The kids have been great. We got a number of compliments from the boat crew and our bus driver is amazed at how well behaved they are. They are all safe in bed and we are off to Petco Park in the morning, which is my favorite new baseball park. We are hoping to catch the departure of the Ronald Regan aircraft carrier tomorrow while we are at the Midway Museum.
