Sea World Trip & Drew's Marathon

The first weekend of June we took a mini vaca to San Diego yes I know it was very far from home...a whole hour:) Those are my kind of trips!! We stayed the weekend at the Hilton at Mission Bay which was very nice and went to Sea World and Drew ran his Marathon. We got there Friday and went to Sea World all day and the kids loved it:) The kids loved Shamu and Dylan was facinated by the Walrus...we couldn't get him to leave. The shows we're too cute and Brinley loved the water ride. Dylan loved playing at the Seseme Street play area and had the best time there! Saturday we relaxed went to the convention center where Drew got all his information for the marathon and walked around all the health and fitness booths. Then we came home for some swimming and lunch by the pool. The kids had a blast at the pool and after we quickly left to catch some shows and other exhibits we didn't quite get to finish at Sea World. We ended the night with a pasta feast for Drew..he needed to fuel up for the race the next morning. It was an early morning dropping Drew off at the start line...but he did an amazing job. When we saw him at mile marker 20 he was still smiling and ready to go. Now seeing him at the finish line was a whole different story. I think the first words out of his mouth were "I'm never doing this again....I don't know why people do this!" Funny thing is he's signed up for the St. George Marathon! We are all very proud of him he did a great job and finished at 4 hours and 30 minutes. That is a whole lot of running!!!! Brinley was happy because at the end she got the medal:) Now that's how you do a race:)
