Next on our little vacation is SeaWorld. I haven’t been here in a long time and a lot has changed. For starters, the whales.
Growing up my parents took all of us to SeaWorld every year. So, I have been at this park about 22 times. I remember the trainers swimming with the whales and it was fun to watch.
Now they just swim around and pose.
And do a few jumps out of the water. Eli thought it was pretty fun to watch and he doesn’t know the difference. It’s always incredible to see how big they are.
They really didn’t do anything….
We were soaking wet from the dolphins splashing us.
Still wet 🙂
The petting mini sharks was crazy.
I love Eli’s laugh! He was pushing my hand in the water and wouldn’t let me pull it out. I did not like those little fish feeding on my dead skin. Too weird for me.
We purchased the food option so all our food was included in the ticket price. If theme parks offer this, we always purchase it. This food deal was pretty amazing. We ate a lot! The vouchers were good for certain hours of the day and had to be used or loosed. The first hour we weren’t hungry so we all grabbed drinks. The second hour we grabbed lunch. And then dessert. And snacks. And by the time dinner came, I didn’t use my voucher. The food was definitely theme park quality, but it was good.
This was only half of what we received with one sitting. I’m not sure if this is normal or the employees that day didn’t pay attention to food portioning. I left the park stuffed!
I had fun every year my parents took me, and I definitely had fun bringing Eli. Eli LOVED the park. He is at a perfect age to enjoy all the animals.
