Around the World with Little Raindrop: I go to San Diego, CA!

Hiya kiddos!

Today I'm going to show you pictures from my trip with Andres to... San Diego, California! COOL!


In the plane, about to take off! 

Nice day at the beach!

Wow, what a view!

On the shoes of my friends.
*sniff sniff* What is that SMELL?

Ahhh, the ocean feels GREAT!

Surf's up, duuude!

Albert Einstein said some pretty smart stuff!
He says we should learn to strive for happiness,
and not for success. That sounds good to me!


Cool, the Star III submersible!


In front of the Birch Aquarium!
These whales seem tiny compared to the real thing!

At the Birch Aquarium! Hooray! Aquariums are my favorite!
Visit the Kelp Cam to see live fishies swimming!

Look at all the fish!
Hey- I think I know that one...

Jolla Shores look so tiny from way up here!

Sunning myself on a kayak at Coronado Island!

Here we are at Legoland, California!
Albert Einstein, made of Legos,
and it looks like something is coming out of his nose!

Mini people, mini golfing!

Hanging out on Hagrid's hand!
Old Town, San Diego.
It sure looks old to me!

Mason Street school, the old school in Old Town!

I wouldn't want to get into trouble at Mason Street school...
SIX lashings for playing in the creek?!?!!
Sheesh! I'd be in trouble ALL the time!

Nice Ferrari, man!
We had such a great time! Andres and his family took me to some really unique places, and I learned so many new things. I even went online to learn a little more about the man Albert Einstein... he was super smart! Think about these quotes:

“Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” 

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.  We need a new way of thinking if mankind is to survive and move to higher levels.”

Now tell me, which is your favorite quote, and why? I think you know which one is mine! :D
See ya 'round!

Around the World with Little Raindrop: My Visit to Texas!

Hiya kids, Little Raindrop here!

I've got some great photos to share with you from one of my latest adventures! My good pal, Alex, took me with her on her visit to San Antonio, Texas... and we sure had a SPLASH- uh, I mean a BLAST!

We traveled by air and flew right past my  old neighborhood- hey, wait...
I THINK I SEE MY HOUSE!


Then we watched a ceremony at Lackland Airport...

...to see Alex's cousin graduate! Congratulations!

Look how close we got to the plane!

And we learned that heroes, and dangers, come in many shapes and sizes!

Then we visited San Antonio's Sea World theme park.

I got to visit with my whale buddies, Shamu and friends!
It was great to see them all again!

I'm sure going to miss them, but Shamu told me I could
keep an eye on him from the Shamu cam, and you can, too!

Next, we discovered the Alamo!
Well, WE didn't discover it, but we definitely explored it!

What a cool building!
 
You girls really know how to lift a guy up! :)
  
hee hee! This tail is tickling me!

This cactus does NOT tickle!

Ouch! Who thought of this idea??

Eesh, I'm starting to wonder if these people like me anymore!

Even though I got pricked a few times, I still had a TON of fun with Alex and her family! I went to all sorts of new places, and saw some old faces, too! Now, where is my First Aid kit???

Until next time, my Little Water Heroes!
