San Diego Day 3 - Shamwow and Gang

Today is the morning we went hotel hopping. I thought it give us an opportunity to explore different areas and to diversify the risk of getting a hotel we didn't enjoy since we "Pricelined". We are going to miss getting our room cleaned twice a day at Westgate. Though our stay was enjoyable with classic European luxury we will now get to experience a hotel with modern ammenities. We left our central hub of The Westgate Hotel in downtown and off to the coastal area where we checked into The Hyatt in La Jolla. Prior to leaving downtown we did an hour of retail therapy at Horton Plaza which is an outdoor shopping mall 2 blocks away from our hotel.

After checking into the hotel we headed to the In-N-Out Burger in the Mission Bay area for lunch. I have never had a burger so was quite stoked to finally see what all the fuss was about. I'm amazed at how simple the menu is but the concept works just on the fact it sells fresh burgers.

We then headed to Sea World. If you like to see sea animals perform or if you have kids, this is the place to be. We've never seen so many range of different strollers parked during the show performances from Bugaboos, Quinny, Maclaren, Perego, etc. This will be the next hot vacation spot for many of our friends in the near future when they bring their kids. Shamwow is Seaworld's main attraction, and she didn't disappoint. There's also a sea lions and otters' show which does a parody of Saturday Night Live (they call it SLL-Sealions Live..hehe), as well as dolphin's and acrobats' show.







Other sites visited include the freshwater aquarium, dolphin feeding area, sting rays, sharks and Arctic exhibit.

We rode on two rides: Wild rapid and Journey to Atlantis, both getting us uber wet beyond our expectations. It sucks to wear wet cotton clothes.
