Sea World (Day Three)

Day three took us to Sea World.  The first thing we did was ride the Manta.  I was a little nervous they wouldn't like it based on the Belmont roller coaster.  I was wrong.  The Manta was awesome and the girls loved it.  After the ride we went to the touch pool and touched the rays.

 The Shamu show called One World.  This made the whole trip worth it.  As we were waiting for the show to start the girls saw the orcas in the tank.  One even had a baby that was born on Valentine's day.  But once the show started and the orca did the first breach out of the water both girls' eyes were as big a saucers.  They were amazed that happened.  The rest of the show went just like that.  They wanted to sit in the "soak zone" and we did get a little splash but did not get soaked (yay).

 Next was the sea lion show.  It was very funny and I think James, GG and the girls' favorite.

 This is the Blue Horizon show that was similar to Cirque de Soile.  This show featured dolphins and pilot whales.

We were all starved by the time we left and James had a great idea so we headed to In And Out Burger.  Cyan even had to have a second burger.
