Back From Sea World

We just returned from our spontaneous trip to Sea World. We left on Sunday and came back on Tuesday evening. We stayed a few miles from the park at a Holiday Inn Express which we chose because of its heated pool.

The park was a little crowded. I recommend not going during San Antonio’s sprink break. That thought had not crossed my mind until I had to wait in line just to go to the bathroom, and the food lines stretched half a mile.

But we still managed to do almost everything we wanted to do. Caleb had a blast, and that’s what mattered to us. He loved all the shows, and especially the pre-show entertainment that he dubbed “the funny man.” He liked playing in the kiddie area.

The weather was really great. It was chilly in the mornings, but warmed up nicely during the day.

Here are four 15-second silent movies we took:

• Shamu Roller Coaster
• Paint Bucket ride
• Egg ferris wheel
• Feeding Sea Lions

Here are seven pictures we posted.

I start my new job tomorrow. I’m excited and a bit nervous.
