We decided that since Austin had never met his great-grandpa yet (and I hadn't seen him in 4 years), we would take a trip down to S. Cal to see him. We talked all week to Austin about going on a trip to see Grandpa Dick and Grandma Jackie, so he was excited about meeting them and going to Sea World. So, my mom and I took the 7 hr. drive down there (which was Austin's first long car trip!) and spent the late afternoon with Grandpa and some of his family. Luckily, Austin was friendly with everyone and learned everyone's name quickly (which they got a kick out of). He was so stir crazy from sitting in the car that long, that for 3 hours straight he ran around his yard and house tearing it up! It's a good thing we spent the next day at Sea World because my grandpa probably wouldn't have been able to handle "The Tornado" all day! Sea World was so much fun and perfect weather! We went on a weekday and off-season, so it wasn't crowded either. Austin loved the "big, giant whales" and the dolphins, and found it especially amusing watching them splash the people and jump out of the water. All in all, it was a great little trip and hopefully my grandpa wasn't too worn out!
