August Visitors! Part 3

Laurie's visit wasn't over yet! On her 5th day, we headed north to Anaheim to visit the Happiest Place on Earth.

We were lucky enough to meet up with Laurie and Tim's cousin, Christina and her boyfriend.

I had to get back to San Diego for an event that evening, so we sweet-talked the ride operator at Splash Mountain to allow all of us to go together. (We had different FastPass times.)

It all worked out wonderfully, because Laurie got to spend the rest of the day and the next morning with her cousin and then they all drove back down to San Diego for a visit.

We ended up going on the SEAL tour, a San Diego version of the "Duck" tour. While waiting our turn to get in the water, this giant bird was hanging out on the boat next to us. I don't think he ever left his perch.

 Group shot!

 They should really call it a Sea Lion tour, because we saw a ton of them!

 And I couldn't pass up an opportunity to wave to Tim at work. :-)

Simon and Christina stayed through dinner (so they could see Tim) and then headed back North. The next day was Laurie's last with us, but she had an evening flight, so the two of us took a tour of Balboa park...

It has a lot more hills than we expected!
