Thursday Jauary 19, 2012 - our Seaworld day
( i have alot of pictures, once i am able to upload them, i will edit the posts to include the photos)
We got up early, got ready and ate in the room. We met up with our cousins, stopped at Starbucks for coffee/juice and then headed down the PCH to San Diego. It was a beautiful drive. We arrived at Seaworld, and had to switch our CityPass card to a SeaWorld card. The lineup was not very long to enter.
The first thing we did when we arrived was go up in the Skytower (Observation tower ). From the tower we could see amazing views of San Diego and the Ocean.
Then we went to the childrens area called Sesame Street Bay of Play, and rode Elmos flying fish, Abbys sea star spin, and Oscars rocking eel. There was a childrens rope course the the kids spent alot of time climbing on. They also tried a game where you try to climb a turning latter to the top. We got to meet Elmo and his friend and take pictures with them.
Then we went to the Sesame street show. "Lights Camera Imagination".
We all wanted a snack, so we went to the Seaside Cafe and Bakery. We got strawberries w/ whipped cream for the girls to share, while DH and I each got a coffee and shared a muffin.
We then went to see the Blue Horizon Show. One Ocean show and Sea Lions live show. We made sure not to sit in the "wet zone".
We then went to visit most of the exhibits. I cant remember them all, but I know we visited the Shark encounter, Turtle reef and Penquin encounter for sure.
We then went to Wild Artic exhibit, and was surprised that the exhibt mentions a flight to "Winnipeg" , which is where we are from, which was cool ( i have a picture that i will find and upload soon)
We shopped around for souveniers, DH and I each got a t-shirt. DD1 got a Dolphin Trainer Barbie (comes with a dolphin) and DD2 got a stuffed Shamu wearing a santa hat.
Then we headed back to our hotel. But first we stopped in San Diego at a Black Angus Steakhouse. All the adults got the steak, I can't rememvber what the kids ate. The adults had fun relaxing and talking. The kids had fun playing on the DS Game.
We got back to the hotel and went to bed early, as we would be going back to Disney;and (and parkhop to California Adventrue) in the morning, to ride the attractions we missed the other days.
Stay tuned for more .....
