Sea World and home


Friday was the day to visit Sea World. By this time we had  become very familiar with our half hour drive to San Diego and when to leave to avoid any traffic delays. The first thing we did was we walked over toward the stadium for the Shamu show and came across the dolphin encounter. We were right next to the edge and got see the dolphins up close. Shannon even touched it though Payton just wanted to look.

















Then it was off to see the killer whales. Sea World had changed a lot since last we had been there. There are just as many rides as there are exhibits which means the number of exhibits has gone down. Even the shows have changed. Some had to because of the accident a few years ago so there is no trainer in the water with the killer whales.















There was a tide pool display area that the kids had a chance to hold sea stars which they really enjoyed. 











The dolphin show was more of a Circa Ole as you say people do just as many stunts as the dolphins.























The sea lion show was just as entertaining as ever though. We even went back at the end to see another show which made fun of all the other Sea World shows.










The Arctic exhibit was also god with the chance to see Beluga Whales. They have a constant smile on their face. It was a full day.















 Saturday was a day to pick up and head home. Our stay at the Welk Resort turned out to be great.
