Our Cali Trip Day 1

We flew on the coolest airlines ever, Virgin America. Each seat had their own screen TV with a remote. With your remote you could choose to watch any of their 16 different TV channels, listen to music, play computer games, watch a movie, or even turn your remote upside-down and do seat to seat chatting. It kept everyone so busy that we never heard those dreaded words.... "Are we there yet?" Even Monety enjoyed using his remote to do things.



We had the hotel pool all to ourselves. Maybe it was because it was raining, so we did a lot of soaking in the hot tub. That doesn't stop us Washington people though. It was sunny in LA once we landed, but as we headed south the rain cloud came in from the ocean and it rained through the night.


We were expecting and planning on rain throughout our whole trip, but prayed that we would be able to do all that we came to do and see in nice weather, and the next day it was sunny and in the upper 60's that whole day.

Here we are playing at a park as we waited for Sea World to open.



We had Sea World all to ourselves it felt like, we got there when it opened at 10am and stayed until it closed at 5pm. We all wore our new Nebraska T-shirts to help us feel close to Caleb on this special Sea World trip. We greatly enjoyed the shows, it has sparked a huge interest for the girls, for now they both want to become a Marine Animal Trainer when they get older. Of course since we were planning and expecting the rain, which did not come, we all got sun burnt.

(This aquarium shark tunnel reminded us of the Omaha Zoo, but this was not near as neat, big, or long. They make you move through the tunnel on a moving floor, so you can't stay and enjoy the tunnel as much.)



Here is the video clip of the girls on their first rollercoaster water ride. Liahona said she never wants to do that again. Since Eric and I had to switch off watching Montey, when they were done, Tamara went again with me, even though she said it was scary. She said she didn't want me to be alone..... how sweet is that? =)




The girls wanted to get splashed in the whale and dolphin shows and sat in the lower splash zones, but they somehow managed get not get wet. Then the girls and I went on the river rapids ride and we got drenched, unfortunately we did this ride towards the end of our day and it was colder then the afternoon, when we all got sun burnt.


Which ended our first Day in Cali
