8/20 San Diego

We capped off a long summer of travel and adventure by going to San Diego. Since I had to go for a convention anyway, we decided to go as a family. It was Jen's first trip to California and we were blessed to see and do a lot of special things. We visited Sea World, the zoo, went sailing and saw the sights. We were especially blessed to visit another of Jen's "sisters" from the orphanage.

Jen wanted to get splashed by Shamu

But he kept getting out of his tank


So we finally got her good and wet on the roller coaster/log flume

Jen and Daddy are proud as penguins

Who would've guessed that a little girl from Wisconsin would grow up one day and be a mom to a little girl from China

Jen got to steer the sailboat

This young lady went out of her way to be kind to Jen

Swimming in the bay with new friends

Jen is blessed with a mother who loves her deeply...just what the doctor ordered. Kristy comforts a Lab that was a little scared out on the bow
