Spring Break 2006 - Sea World

Kelli and I woke up on Tuesday morning ready for a day of fun. The team was sleeping in since they weren't scheduled to play until evening - so Kelli and I hopped in our rental and headed to Sea World for the day. She had never been, and it had been years since I had been there. It was one of our best days of the trip.

We visited the Dolphin Nursery, where we saw moms and babies. At the Dolphin Encounter, Kelli was able to pet and feed the dolphins. We were also able to see a 4 month old baby killer whale - born at Sea World in November - birth weight was 350 pounds. He was just the cutest thing - swimming along right beside his mom.

We watched the Dolphin Show and (our favorite) the Clyde and Seymore Show (seals and otters). Kelli laughed through the entire show!!

Somehow we ended up in the SOAK ZONE for the Shamu Show and they warn you numerous times that you WILL get wet. Did we listen?


Close to the end of the show, they bring out this MONSTER Killer Whale - 200o pounds - largest in captivity. His sole purpose in life is to swim slowly around this tank and splash us idiots in the SOAK ZOME by slapping his tail in the water. And let me tell you - that water was ICE COLD!
