Sea World

Baby blues equal family vacation. After the birth of my children, during the baby blues, I plan a family vacation. This is the first time we actually did my plans. It was so much fun and I am so glad we went.

Friday May 21 we drove to California and arrived around 7, went to dinner, then went swimming at the hotel. The next morning we were getting ready to go, we realized that we packed for Arizona weather with shorts and short sleeves. It was cold and drizzly we decided to go to Walmart to get some jackets. Well they don’t sell jackets in the summer. We found a two long sleeve shirts but I refused to buy them because they were so ugly and I didn’t want their pictures in them. Also didn’t want to waste money on shirts they would only wear once. So we bought expensive jackets at Sea World.

On the first day at Sea World, Brody Loved the Shamu Show- He clapped the whole show and did the W-splash Wave and the Pet Show-He enjoyed seeing dogs. At the end of the show, he actually went up to pet two dogs, a proud moment, wow! Brody was so cute, he got Cheetos, and kept trying to feed the fish, penguins, and sharks his Cheetos. The first day Brody hated the Sesame Street 3-D Show- He would jump when anything came out at him and cried with it started to thunder, lightning, and raining on us. Brody hated the Sea Lions-He did not like the one the keep screaming at everyone trying to get fish.

On the first day, Gavin Loved the Sea Lions-He wanted to feed them. Loved the Sesame Street 3-D Show and watching the walrus swim under the water. It kept swimming and rubbing his back against the glass right by him. Loved the Sesame Street play park. Loves to sleep at the hotel and go swimming. Gavin went twice the first day and loved to go during naptime.

On the second day at Sea World, we went again to the sesame street play park and did the rides. The boys loved the rides. We went to the Shamu Killer Whale show again and Gavin wanted to sit close and get wet. So close we did sit, the boys got scared with the killer whales right by us and both boys cried with Shamu sprayed us with water. We went to the Sea Lion show and Brody whined and asked to go a few times. He didn’t like the noisy animals. Gavin wanted to see the penguins and polar bears, and walrus again.

Returned to the hotel, went swimming, jumped on the beds, had pillow fights, and spun in the office chair. Went to bed late and sleep in, went swimming on Monday one last time then drove home. We will probably go again when Gavin has a break from school.

Look how close.

Nice Dog

Brody was very scared at this point, we sat 3 rows back.

The boys loved the ride.
