San Diego Zoo and Sea World

Our happy family outside the San Diego Zoo

Emily, Sid and I being bugs!

Emily was wiped out!!

Two beautiful creations...a cheetah and an arctic wolf


The following day we went to Sea World...the girls LOVED it!!



Shamu - the killer whale...Emily loved this show, these animals were awesome and so beautiful and it was amazing to see what the trainers could do with them.


Chloe munching away on a duck drumstick!!!

Tyler, Emily, Brandon and Sid waiting to see the Sea Lion show

This is the albino walrus that spat at us!!!

Chloe and Emily were able to pat the dolphins...and they loved it, Chloe would have gone in to swim with them if she could!

Brandon...he finally got to touch a dolphin...what a great picture.



This is Chloe's "say cheese" face!!

After our San Diego adventures we headed back to Captain Kidd's at Redondo Beach...a seafood "shack" where we gorged on fresh crabs, sashimi, calamari rings and fish and chips..

The four amigos...Emily has a chocolate moustache happening...not a good look.



Sid and I managed to get a "day off" to visit Universal Studios in LA.



THis was the "Underwater World" stunt show...action packed and very wet!!
Of course we had to indulge in the American diet...chilli cheese fries and a "funnel" cake topped with strawberries and cream..

After a day of fun at Universal Studios, Sid and I dined at Wolfgang Puck's cafe at Universal City Walk...as you can see Americans aren't real big on vegetables...we got a steak that covered half the plate and the other half of the plate was loaded with fried onion rings and french fries...


Dining at Kabuki...a great Japanese restaurant in LA.

Sid is really a closet wannabe biker!

Ty Ty and Emily trying on some funky hats at the Growers Market at the Grove in LA.

The girls getting "packed" as we got ready to pack all our things after our wonderful American Adventure..
