Vacation Part 3: Sea World San Antonio

For the last part of our trip, we stayed in San Antonio and spent three days at Sea World. The house was in a questionable part of town, but very close to the park. The grown-ups also took turns having a date night! The Sheppard's went to the Riverwalk, but Jerry and I went to Olive Garden - we needed some AC after being outside all day!

We loved seeing Shamu. Our favorite shows were with the sea lions and the acrobats.

Here are some of my favorite pictures:

Feeding the dolphins - aren't they cute?!


We had lots of fun on the rides. Darren was tall enough to do all of the rides but one. He rode on the Steel Eel three times! Claire and Miles rode lots of rides, too. Jerry and I felt like kids again on the roller coasters - it's been 7 years since I've been able to go on them - I'm always pregnant! The best part is that it was tax-free shopping weekend, so there were no lines!




I actually lost a little bit of weight on this trip, quite possibly due to all the sweating. It was HOT!!! I was stressed out a lot about having Samantha out all day in the heat. Luckily, we were able to cool off at the water park each day.


We got back just in time for school. We had so much fun - what a great way to end the summer!!!

Sea World looks like a blast! We have never taken our kids there...we REALLY need to do that. I bet they really liked the dolphins and all those fun rides. It is nice you avoided lots of lines because of the shopping. Good thing to remember in the future!
