Our first day in San Diego consisted two parts. The first was a walk downtown and the second was a superbowl party. Firstly to downtown. This is one of the nicer cities we have visited thus far mainly because of the weather. The whole time we were there it didn’t get below about 10C. Downtown is really nice with a Gaslamp Quarter devoted to the historic section and a riverfront with parks and shops. We walked through both areas before heading to Balboa Park which is where the zoo is located. We didn’t go in but we walked around the park which has some cool Spanish architecture amidst some manicured gardens. After that we went back to the hostel for a superbowl party they had organised with a free keg. The keg lasted to the end ... read more

Oh my what a great short trip that was! My cousin Tylar and my friend Emilio deceded to go to Cali for a few days. The car ride there was great we jammed out to great music and listened to books on tape. We stopped at my Unlce's in Palm Springs for a night, it is always great to see him. We went to dinner and he showed us around the city. The next morning we drove up highway 74. It winds up a steep hill and has a great view not only all over the valley of Palm Springs but also the Salton Sea. We then drove through San Bernardino forest. We ended getting a little lost but arrived in San Diego by early afternoon, we checked into the hotel and then went to the ... read more

Seufer6: Destination: SeaWorld After 6 wonderful nights on the beach in MX it was nice to head north back to the good ole USA. The border crossing was a new world record only taking us 20 minutes. We arrived at Seaworld and headed to the sea lion show where Clyde and Seamore did entertain us. Then off to see the manatees that the girls love so much. Next was a special treat "DINE WITH SHAMU" it could also be called dining with sea gulls, the gulls ate more off of our plates than Lilly and Emma did combined. A little expensive and slightly overrated, but still some great memory jams. Tanner tried hard to kick some of the birds and claimed he got a piece of a couple of them. Then off the see Shamu and ... read more

Hey all! We just arrived in san Diego after spending 1 day in LA. We didn't get a chance to see much there, but will return at the end of our stay here, so will try and catch up on all the things to see and do. We stayed on Hollywood Boulevard though, so saw some famous stars on the street. Ashlie has got a friend who lives in LA, but currently in the UK so she kindly offered us to stay in her house! It was soooo nice to sleep in a normal house, cook our own food etc. Shame it's not too hot at the moment as it has a pool there too. We will go back and stay in a week or so. Now, San Diego. Just arrived so haven't had a chance ... read more

After waking up from another great nights rest at the Del, we had to decide what are plans are for the day. Looking out the window didn't seem to be freezing weather, but we didn't want to take any chances at Seaworld, so we decided to head to the Naval Ships here in San Diego, then on to Rosarito Beach Mexcio to spend a couple days with Ty's brother Thane, his wife Leslie, girls, Laney and Carley, before they head back to Colorado. First though, Jessica and Tanner laced up their roller blades and Ty hopped on our new bike to get some excersize blading and riding into town to check things out, while me, Lilly, and Emma pack up to leave. Aftering packing, me, Lilly, and Emma got in the minivan and headed to town ... read more

Seufer6: Destination--The San Diego Zoo After waking up from a relaxing night of rest at the Hotel Del Coronado, we opened the curtains to windy, overcast and cold weather. Before bed last night, we decided to go the Sea World, but after looking out our window, we thought at day at the San Diego Zoo would be a better choice. Anna, Jessica, and Tanner hit the beach first thing for a quick 1 1/2 mile brisk walk. Actually, Jessica jogged, while Tanner and Anna walked. We are still missing 2 bags from our flight, and Anna's tennis shoes are in one of them, so she flip flopped walked with Tanner. It was a great walk, with many fellow exercisers. We hooked up with Ty, Emma and Lilly at breakfast at the Del. Yummy! A buffet style ... read more

Seufer6 Roadtrip: Destination-Hotel Del Coronado DUE TO MEXICAN INTERNET SERVICE THIS BLOG WAS LOST AT THE BORDER CROSSING FOR SOME 7 DAYS SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION MUCHO GRACIAS After a fantastic flight from Denver, we landed at the San Diego airport at 9:30am. Jessica and Tanner did homework the whole flight!!! 72 degrees and perfect! Locating all 10 pieces of our luggage didn't seem to be a perfect feat. With 8 pieces of luggage, 4 kids and 4 heavy carry on bags, we hopped on a bus and headed to National Car Rental to pick out a minivan. A dark blue van with all the bells and whistles didn't want to accommodate all luggage and passengers, so we settled on the largest white dodge minivan with extra cargo space instead. Off in our minivan we went ... read more

well ive met up with my mates and we have been to Las Vegas and i drove us down to San Diego. Vegas was a bit crazy, its like the gold coast on steroids basically. THere is drinking, shopping and gambling. If u dont like these things then basically its a town in the middle of the desert! we had a great time. dont know if anyone is reading this (a very large possibility and i may be the only 1 who reads this!!) il continue anyway. we are in san diego which looks really nice. Its a slower pace than in Vegas and is by the beach and also home of Miramara air force base (the home of Top Gun). we went down to Tijuana in Mexico, just below the US border. was an amazing ... read more

Today we went to the "World Famous San Diego Zoo". We started on a tour of the Zoo which took us around to each area. It was a big place with lots of types of animals and beautiful gardens. It is actually listed as botanical gardens. So we walked around and saw lots of animals. There were apparently 4000 animals there from 800 species. You would see a big but there would by 10 varieties and the same for monkeys, dears etc. We actually saw a dear just after it was born. (An hour old). It was tiny and struggling to walk around- very cool. My favs were the hippo, rhinos, zebras, grizzly bear, feral bush pigs and pandas. Well there was a huge line to see the pandas and we couldn’t be bothered waiting at ... read more
