It was a wild and crazy end of last week and weekend. Mom and Dad flew in from Virginia to hang out for a couple of days and meet Reggie. Reggie, of course, was a huge hit. We spent some time at Fiesta Island and the Budman worked with her on her retrieving skills. Her skills are much improved but we still have work to do.
One of my favorite parts of their visit was our trip to SeaWorld. I will write more in a later blog on SeaWorld because there is just too much to write here. The orca is a fascinating creature and SeaWorld San Diego has seven of them. Each of the orca each eat 250 pounds of fish a day for a total of 1,750 pounds of fish a day. That’s 638,750 pounds of fish a year. Yikes.
My parents also checked out the San Diego Zoo, Fiesta Island, Pacific Beach, La Jolla, the Gliderport just south of Torrey Pines State Park, and Del Mar. It was quite a packed trip and by the time Sunday afternoon rolled around, they headed to the airport and I headed to the couch. One note for visitors is that May and June tend to be gloomy in the mornings (which my parents thought was “cold”) but we actually had good weather for walking around in – not too hot, not too cold, but “just right.” It was great to get to spend time with them and hopefully they return to SoCal soon!
