Seaworld With Our New Friends...



A few weeks back I began following the blog of another Weight Watcher, Lesia. Her blog is "Here We Go. . . Hold On Tight!"
I don't really remember how I found her blog. I probably followed a comment from another blog or something..but anyway, from the moment I began reading her blog, I loved her spunk and enthusiasm! Within just a few days of when I began reading and commenting on her blog, Lesia mentioned that she and her family were coming to San Diego for a vacation and we agreed that we should meet while they were here. Vern and I have annual passes to Seaworld and we decided that would be the perfect place to meet and spend some time together. So on Monday we slathered on sunscreen, donned our "Seaworld Shirts" and headed off to meet our new friends. We had such a fun day!!!

Lesia is funny and excitable and full of life! Her husband, Clay, is such a nice guy with a friendly, quiet nature. And their daughter Kayla is a sweet, easy to like girl! We felt comfortable with them immediately. There wasn't a single moment where we felt awkward or uncomfortable. It was like we had been friends for a long time!

We met at 9:00am and spent the entire day together.

We posed with Shamu...


We saw the shows...


Vern, Lesia, and Kayla posed with the Cirque de la Mer characters ( funny looking guys in wet tights sort of freak me out so I was happy to hang back and take a photo!)...


We ended the day by going for a late dinner at Appleby's Restaurant, where they have a Weight Watchers menu with the points already figured for you!

We left our new found friends at around 10:00pm or so after agreeing that our next get together should be at Disneyland!

Hey Vickie,
What a darling girl. Went over to check her out via your blog and was immediately smitten by her spunk and honesty. No wonder you are inspired by Lesia. Keep up the good work. I am on the baby girl is going away to college in 7 weeks diet right now. Am barely able to eat at this point. Hoping this plan is not followed by the cant get enough comfort food diet once shes gone : ) Love Ya Debbie
