Vacation to Sea World and Magic Mountain















We had tonz of fun on our vacation!! We left town around 7:00pm on the 27th and started the long journey in a 12 passenger van with 9 passengers on board and 5 passengers being under the age of 15 loaded up on Dramamine (a must with my children) WOW!! We made it as far as Prim Nevada that night at around 11:30pm and checked in to Whisky Pete's hotel. We left the next morning at around 9:30am and made it to San Diego at around 2:30pm (I think?) We decided to spend a few extra bucks and stay at the Bahia resort because it looked really fabulous online! the only problem was that I don't think they have updated there pictures online for a few years!! the rooms were really small and not so clean!! We found a diaper behind the couch!! (not used but still eeeoooh!!) and cereal and sticky yuck all over our floor!! there were dirty dishes in the drawers and a box of fruit loops in the cupboard, who knows how long it had been there!! But, the beds were clean and it was not so bad after all. The pool and hot tub were the nicest part of the hotel and they have a private beach, and it is only five minutes away from Sea World!! Yeah!! We just kinda hung out the first day, we took a tour of the property which is pretty cool! they had a seal pool which the kids thought was great and you could walk right out to Mission Bay they have a section that is private just for the guests. The next day we drove down the street to Belmont park and the Beach it was awesome!! the kids got to play in the ocean and Freeze to death, it actually was not too cold we still had a blast!! That night we got to take a cruise on the Bahia Belle around mission bay it was pretty cool. The next day we got up early and headed to Sea World and of course the day we decide to go it was raining!! We thought it was going to be a terrible day and that we would have to make the most of it! But we really ended up having a really great time the weather ended up being just right!! not too hot and not too cold!! We all had a blast!! Sunday we checked out and headed to Los Angeles a couple hours later we could see the sun again yeah!!! Our Hotel there was sooooo nice and lots cheaper!!! We got up early on Monday and headed to Six Flags Magic Mountain!! Hooray!!! I Love Roller Coasters!!! I could so totally be one of those geeks that travel around the country going to different amusement parks and wear those geeky shirts that say I Survived the big one!! The only thing is that I wish we could have had more time to ride the rides!!!! the park closed early because it was still not peak season. We thought maybe we would be lucky and it would not be so busy but, there were 52 different Junior High schools there for the end of the school year fling!! Still we had a fun time but, next time I know I will Not!! take my smallest child who was a pain in the BUTT!! and decided that she hates roller coasters!!! and she was also not tall enough for most of them. I want to go back so bad and ride the rides that we didn't get time to!! We left Tuesday morning around 9 and drove all the way home making only three stops once at a rest stop to pee once in Vegas to eat and pee and once in Cedar City to pee. We got home about 8:30pm Tuesday night Whoooo!!! Any how we still had a great vacation and hopefully everyone enjoyed it as much as I did!!!!!!

The Bahia Belle



The cruise around mission bay just ended up being a short trip to the other side of the bay(kinda Lame!) but, we still enjoyed it and it was something to do for freeeee!!
