Day 3 - Downtown San Diego (Part II)

When we were in downtown San Diego on Saturday, we decided to take a ride on what is called the "SEAL." It is a bus that can turn into a boat. It is pretty neat but kind of spendy.

Here we are as we are leaving dry ground.

This is what we look like out on the bay.

Here is our group. Left to right: Brandon, me, Erika (sister-in-law), and Brandon's brother Mike holding their littlest one, Gabe.


It is too bad that we didn't get a better picture of this ship because it was pretty sweet!! It looks like a pirate ship from Pirates of the Carribean to me!

Beautiful views. Brandon and I both love seeing all of the sailboats out on the water.



One of the partial stops we made while we were on the guided "SEAL" tour was near a floating deck of sea lions... I guess that they get fed really well in that area too... There is a big shed that the keepers put down in the water with food in it for them... so pretty much all they have to do is eat and sleep... what a life!!!



One of the things you will notice from this video and the sea lion pictures is that the sea lions develop a furry skin cover as they dry out... that is to keep them warm and then they become slick once they are in the water... cool, huh?!
