Sea World

After watching the Shamu show

In the gift shop

The front Christmas tree

The beautiful gardens. There's actually a waterfall behind us, but I think Rob and Avonlea were blocking it. I was wearing Norah all day (don't bring a stroller for her) which she does great with. She takes her naps and everything. I wore the ERGO that day for the first time and it has a little hood that you can snap over the baby's head to keep it from flopping around while baby sleeps. It's great and definately takes the weight and distributes in to your lower back instead of your shoulders like the Baby Bjorn does.

Waiting for the dolphin show (our favorite). The music in it is very well done.

Lincoln at the shark tank. There were sting rays in it as well.

At Downtown Disney after dinner.

At the T-Rex restaraunt for dinner

Can you see that we're in the "Ice Age" section of the restaraunt. It's neat because every 15 minutes or so, the restaraunt comes alive (like the Rainforest Cafe) and all the dinosaurs move and make noises. Next time, I'll try to take a video.

The ride home


You've gotta love being a Florida resident and all the deals you can take advantage of. In the past few years, we've taken advantage of the annual passes (go once, come back for the rest of the year FREE) offered at the zoo, Sea World and Busch Gardens. You can't beat the deal, especially because you can bring your own food/drinks into the park and you virtually have the whole day free. You just have to pay for parking. Anywhoo, our last trip to Sea World was a blast and we've made it tradition to splurge on dinner and eat at the T-Rex restaraunt in Downtown Disney. It's nice because Downtown Disney is free to enter and it gives you a little taste of Disney while you're there. There are shops, restaraunts, tons of entertainment and it's pretty magical at night with all the twinkle lights and music. Our passes end this month, so we'll probably take one more last hoorah trip soon. If you should choose to visit Florida sometime, you must visit Sea World. It's worth every penny and quite educational as well. =)

Don't know why my camera makes this clicking sound, but it does. Sorry folks, but enoy the videos.
