Our trip to Sea World San Antonio

Well we are back from our trip and we survived. It was more than we could have imagined and more. The kids were awesome, such troopers!



We left at 8:00 on Tuesday morning and arrived in TX at 8:30. We made a lot of stops and let the kids play whenever we stopped so they could get "ants out of their pants". Our hotel had a King size bed and then a seperate room with a pull out couch. Our room had her pack in play, a fridge and microwave in it as well. Andrew loved it, but being on the fourth floor we had to keep telling him not to stomp!



We then woke up bright and early, ate breakfast downstairs in the lobby that consisted of waffles, danish, juice, and many other yummy things! We went to Sea World our first day, fed the dolphins, saw the falmingos and then off to Shamu. It was awesome, I mean the way the people interacted with them, everything was breathtaking. You do a little shout out of Shamu, Shamu...so that was said by Andrew throughout the entire trip. Andrew loved it and could not believe how big he was and Kaitlyn squealed and clapped everytime he jumped up! Then we ate lunch, walked around some more and saw the SeaLion/Seal show. That was Andrew's favorite because there was a story plot and the seals were really funny. We went "home" for the day, but not without a stop to Walmart..don't think I have been a vacation yet where Walmart was not part of the equation! We ate dinner at the riverwalk and walked around the mall, then went to the hotel for bed!

Next morning started out the same, and went and fed the dolphins again and saw the sharks...holy cow! The tank was massive, 300,000 gallons with salt water fish all in it...the lady there said every kid walked up going look there is Dorie and Nemo...I don't think kids Andrew generation will ever know the real names of the fish, I think that they will forever be Nemo and Dorie! We then went and saw the Dolphins, they had people diving from the top of the stadium, swinging, syncronized swimmers, and the whole time Dolphins jumping and swimming! It was a sight to see! Then we went to a water park they have there, and swam and played, Andrew never wanted to leave and I was glad to see Kaitlyn having fun in it, it was her first experience in something like that! Unfortunately we had to leave then, we stopped by the gift shop and bought a t-shirt and stuffed animal for each kid, and said goodbye to Sea World. We had a wonderful time and I can't wait to do something like that again!

The rest of our trip was even more fun, if it is possible, we met with family and saw Jordan graduate. I will post more on that later! Enjoy the pics and thanks for taking time to read about our trip!
