Wordy Wednesday... Best laid plans gone bad.

The day out cruise ended was a sad day. Most vacations, lets face it, are so much work for Mom that I am ready to get home and back to our schedules. This time is was not so. It was so hard to get up and leave the boat and by get up I mean pack your stuff the night before put it out to be taken off the boat and leave before 8am. It was a rude awakening being forced of the boat (ha ha). So none of us in our group (the rest flew home) were quite ready for it all to end and decided to stop over in San Diego for a night.


It seemed like a great idea to have another day of vacation.

So we drove over to the Wild Animal park. Upon our arrival we realized it was a little warm. I quickly changed all our clothes in the car (not easy by the way). Walking in I realized it was not just a little warm, it was blazing hot! We had the sunscreen packed deep in the bags (no way to find it) so that concerned me. We paid and went in.



The wild animal park has very little shade and lot's of hills, something I had forgotten even though I have been there several times. Not too long after getting inside we were all sick from the heat. So we rode the tram, we wanted to just stay on that all day, but they kicked us off.


We decided to go buy everyone slurpies ($5 a piece). That seemed to help.
Diana also bought a $11 cup so we could refill it as many times as we wanted. Best $11 she ever spent! Notice how little time we spent with animals. We were all about sitting in the shade and keeping cool! Finally the sun began to go down this would seem like the time that our trip was saved.


Not so... Hailey got really sick and hit the bathroom every few minutes.

We were all hot, starving, some were sick and we still had no where to stay that night yet...
It doesn't get better from there, you all know what happened on the drive home. Yes we should have just left the cruise ship and gone home.
