today's my birthday

Today's my birthday and we went to Sea World in San Diego, California. Sea World is located on the bay and shore having a cool breeze. The temp outside was in the high 70's and was nice to be outside walking. I wore sunglasses and sunscreen. My shoulders did suffer a sunburn. Today's food diary took a vacation day from calorie restriction. Here's how the day went.
