Mine was a trip to Sea World with my dad when I turned 8. I remember that we were pretty low on money then. My dad was laid off from McDonnell Douglas and was out of work for a long time. The silver lining was I got to spend more time than usual with my dad. When my birthday came along I was so surprised and excited to take the train down to San Diego (we lived in Lakewood, about 2 hours drive away) and then go to Sea World for the first time! I remember thinking the train ride was so cool and knowing that my dad liked it too because he loves trains! I remember the entrance to Sea World, but not much about what was inside. I even got to pick out a stuffed animal and I chose a walrus whom I named Willy! I still have Willy :) It's a great memory and I'm thankful for it.
So, what was the best birthday present you ever received?

For my 16th B-day Mom started giving me little gifts everyday for the 16 days leading up to my b-day. I thought that was sooo fun! I still have a few of those treats too.
