Weekend Getaway

 We traveled to Sea World San Antonio over the weekend to meet up with John's childhood friend Bill.   We have Sea World figured out now and it was a blast!  The trip was pretty care free and John and I felt like a couple of kids again.  Good thing because we are outnumbered with these three.  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!


 There were beautiful butterflies (and smooshed caterpillars) all over the place.  
 This time we wore our swimsuits so we could sit in the soak zone.  Despite being prepared, Shamu decided not to splash us.  Murphy's law.   

 My blue-eyed baby Beluga.  

 A special activity was dining with Shamu.  It turned out to be a nice break because of the private setting, and the kids were thrilled and on their best behavior.  Tommy was intensely focused on the whales.  If only a whale could join us for every meal!  
 Tommy has two teeth with another one on top coming in.  The trainer said she was entranced with his big eyes and smile. 
 This will always be a wonderful memory for me.  
Shamu showing the crowd a big grin.  These animals are so beautiful.

The next day we went to Sea World's Aquatica.  The whole place catered to kids.  Here you swim under a waterfall and end up in an aviary.  
 We felt like we were back in the Bahamas!
James loved all the water park slides.  We are entering into a new fun stage now that he can go on most the rides.
I am so glad we bought an annual pass.  I'm already dying to go back!

Very fun weekend and a great blog to match. The photos do justice to the Caribbean atmosphere at Aquatica. If any other friends and family would like to go, please let us know because we are looking for an excuse to go back.
