There is a place in San Diego called "Children's Cove" that is a natural gathering place for seals that is right in the middle of the city. It was incredible!
Tim showing Hannah where to look.
Oh there they are! Their mottled coats make them kind of hard to see up against the rocks.
Tim and Hannah pose after checking out the seals. Apparently, Hannah wasn't quite ready because she is still fiddling with her purse.

Next, we headed off to Sea World. First stop, the penguins!
Cool, who knew that we could check out a helicopter at Sea World?!
Touching the wall of ice. It was almost like being stranded in Antarctica.
Seriously, how can you not love the walrus? He is just so funny. He was my favorite animal.
Hannah loved him too. We got to watch him swim around in the underwater viewing tank, and then, he decided to give us a real treat by mushing his blubbery body against the glass. It was pretty neat.
We also got to see the polar bear. At first, he was being a bit lazy.
But then, he decided to go for a swim! 
Hannah and I pretended to be polar bears by climbing into an ice cave. Of course, Hannah is much cuter than any polar bear I know.
We also saw Shamu, of course. It was a real highlight for Tim, because he has, drum roll please, never been to Sea World and has essentially been waiting his whole life for this moment.
We got to touch some starfish and sting-rays, but Hannah was sad that we couldn't take one home.
Now that is just a creepy little eel face. Where is the rest of it's body?!
There was also a bouncy area for kids about Hannah's age to play around in. This was about as far away from us as she got. Don't worry, she is running back to us as fast as she can. 
But it certainly was a great day. We left with smiles on our faces. :)
