Sea World

We've been to Sea World several times, but I had to blog about this particular visit because it was a bit exceptional. First of all, only a handful of people decided to go like we did yesterday. No lines to speak of at all and we had first pick of the seating. Secondly, the weather was perfect. Seventy degrees, sunny with a cool ocean breeze.



Thirdly, my Mom was with us. Not just delightful company but an extra set of hands. Adult to child ratio = 1:1. Not bad at all.



And lastly, Mr. Kyle, being the brilliant veterinarian thirsting for knowledge that he is, answered a challenge question correctly that won us a trip inside the penguin enclosure. So cool! (Literally.) It was a wonderful day.







We sat in the very front row for the dolphin show as well as the Shamu show. We got so wet it was like we'd jumped into the tank with him. We loved it!! Ryder complained for a moment but then he seemed to think it was pretty cool too.

That is so fun! How cool that you got to go see the penguins that something that not many people get to do. And to top it all off on the perfect weather day with not many people sounds like a wonderful time.

Looks like your family had a great time at Sea World. That's wonderful! There are so many things to do in CA...Oh, and the weather! It IS so different from Michigan...We're just counting down the days until we go to Mertle Beach over spring break so we can escape the snow and cold. Enjoy the incredable weather a little more for us, would you? :)

i always really liked sea world, and I kindof liked the thought of being a zoo veterinarian at one time too, not saying that st mary's doesn't feel like zoo sometimes so in some wierd way i guess it came true!!
