Sea World

We visited San Antonio a couple weeks ago for my 10 year high school reunion and had a great time visiting Sea World!! I think David might have been more excited about going than Vince since he knew what was instore for us.



First stop, feeding the dolphins!! Vince fed the dolphins a bunch of little fish. They would just come up to you and open their mouths. If you didn't feed them right away, they left and found someone else who would give them fish. It's a pretty good deal for Sea World, make the visitors pay for the food and then feed the dolphins for them... no need to hire extra workers!! It was so much fun for Vince though. He got close and personal with them, it was also David's first time feeding the dolphins as well :).

Next stop, Shark and Coral Reef exhibit. I'll spare most pictures of the actual tanks because they pale in comparison to my next post of the aqariums at the Atlantis in the Bahamas, but these two pictures are some of my favorite. I like to think that by going to Sea World, we were gearing Vince up for the cruise to the Bahamas that we were going on a couple days later...

Stops 3 and 4 were the 4D movie and the Azul show (Balooga whales / Seals / diver performers). For some reason, Vince always puts on his glasses upsidedown... sunglasses and shown here, 3D glasses!! He didn't like the 4D aspect of the show much... I mean, who really likes water shooting in your face? I don't have good pics of the Azul show, but you can see in the picture of Vince watching how much he enjoyed it!!!

We saved the best for last... SHAMU!!! Did you know Shamu / Killer Whales were part of the dolphin family?? Fun fact we learned. This show is always good. Needless to say Vince loved it. The shows funnel all guests into the gift shop afterward so kids can beg for parents to buy things.....

Who can say no to this??

Bonus video 1: Vince loved this little Shamu so much... he also kept throwing it in the air because he wanted to see it flip like he saw!

Bonus video 2: watching the rollarcoasters... which he said are trains.. aren't they though? A bunch of cars connected together on a rail?? I can't wait until he's old / tall enough to ride rides like this. Visiting Sea World will be a whole new experience!!
