our adventures today began with a trip to downtown disney for some souvenir shopping. i was the only one who hadn't bought anything yet, and i really wanted a t-shirt. simple request, right? well, getting to the free parking area of downtown disney proved to be a challenge, thanks to the star wars half marathon weekend that had us detouring all over. the free lots were also closed, so we were pointed in the direction of the mickey & friends parking structure. after a 10-minute wait to approach the manned payment booth, we discovered parking would be $16. daddy explained our situation and the nice disney worker took pity and let us park for free. ($16 savings - yay!)
after parking, we walked to downtown disney and commenced shopping. about 2 hours later, we had our spoils: 2 tees for me, a set of mickey silverware for daddy, and a churro for the girls.
we hit the freeway to start our journey south toward san diego. traffic was heavy in spots, and the girls were cranky, so around 12:30pm, we turned off and took a break on the beach in carlsbad. it was sunny, breezy, and an awesome sight to see the ocean. we ran around barefoot in the sand.
we picked out a few souvenir rocks, washed off the sand, and turned back to the freeway and made it to our destination at 1:30pm:
it was a small aquarium, but full of interesting creatures. we saw a dive show at 2:00pm that was neat to watch.
we left the aquarium around 3:00pm, and headed to the hotel in san diego. for some reason, i was craving seafood - must have been all the sea life! so after we got checked into the room & washed up, we headed out to a seafood dinner.
total for today: 10,145 steps
