Sea World

The day after we got to San Diego we headed over to Sea World. Nick had never been before, and I absolutely LOVE it! :) Sadly, when we got there we found out that the dolphin show had been canceled until 2010 due to them building a new habitat for them. We were also there for all the special Halloween shows. So it was a new experience for both of us. :)

We got there right before the 1st Shamu Show started, so that was the first show we hit. It was GREAT as always. Its been a dream of mine since I was very little to be a trainer at sea world, but not all that realistic. :)

Nick waiting anxiously!!


Notice the guy in the air (at the top of the trees in the background). Who wouldn't want this guys job?! Seriously!! SO FUN!
Starting off the day at the shamu show was a great start to the day, but sure did set the stakes high for the rest of the shows. :)

We stopped at the starfish, sea turtle, and flamingo exibits before heading over to the next show.

Then we headed over to the Sea Lion and Sea Otter show. They had the seasonal show of "Clyde's Halloween".

Every time I have been to Sea World I have taken a picture by the cow in boxers. Cant Break the tradition now!(Side Note:Looking a little wider than normal. 5 1/2 Months pregnant at this point.)

We then headed over to see the sea lions, Shark encounter, penguins, polar bears, Clydesdale horses, and Beluga whales.
(Fun Fact: Beluga whales are the only whales that are able to express emotions though smiling)

Arctic Ice is
COLD!

Then we headed over to the "Pets Rule" show. (The 2nd favorite after shamu). Nick was impressed they trained Cats to do tricks. Its amazing the tricks they can teach an "old dog". Last, Sea World just wouldn't be sea world without trying to at least see the dolphins. So we headed over to the dolphin pool. Luckly, it was feeding time, and we got to see a few.
We had a lot of fun, and cant wait til we can head back with the baby. Why do kids always make things more fun? ;)
