Our day at Sea World started around noon Saturday. We were able to purchase fun cards where the one day admission allows us to use that same ticket for the rest of 2007. It was a nice day with a mix of overcast clouds and sun. The kids really enjoyed Shamu's Happy Harbor where there are slides, rope bridges, bounce area, sand play and water play. I believe they would be perfectly happy to be there all day. We had lunch near the Budweiser beer station where they hand out free beer. The Shamu and dolphin shows are the only ones we saw and thankfully we sat in the non-soak zone. Several years ago, we went to the show with Tyler and sat in the splash zone. Needless to say, we got soaked! And the water is cold about 50 degrees. So we learned our lesson that time and sat out of the way of splashing.
But that doesn't mean we didn't avoid the water. The kids did play in the children's water area. The latest ride is Journey to Atlantis which is a combo roller coaster and water ride. Hector bought me a poncho to wear but I didn't wear the hood so I still got my head soaked. The ride starts off right away with the big plunge into water about 8 stories tall and then we enter a tower where an elevator lifts us up to the top and we do the roller coaster portion. It was lots of fun and Tyler couldn't stop talking about it all day. Once summer begins the water rides will be a welcome relief. Tyler is already looking forward to more visits to Sea World and so am I.
