Sea World

Sometimes it's fun to plan a birthday party, and sometimes it's fun just to pack up and go on a trip!  That's what we decided to do for Spence's birthday (and mine).  Sea World sounded like a fun place to go, and it definitely was!

We stayed at a hotel close to Sea World that offered a shuttle to the park. Since it's off season, the park is only open from noon to 6:00, so we got season passes so we could go Saturday, Sunday, and any other time we want until January 2014.  It was nice not to feel rushed to do everything in this trip.  But we did a lot!  Here are some of the best pictures:

Loved the elevator door in our hotel

Our hotel was very "green," including this horse sculpture made from pieces of wood

Welcome to Sea World!

Getting ready for the Shamu Express

Allie was really excited to ride the roller coaster

I thought Bert was the serious one!

One of Spence and Allie's favorite rides - notice Mommy is not on there with them!

She could not get enough of the Shamu Express

Waiting for Shamu

The day was a little too long for someone!

Shamu and his friends were so amazing!


We began our second day by posing with Shamu

Feeding dolphins on my birthday

Allie played in the water while the boys rode the bigger roller coasters

And she posed with the gang from Sesame Street!

It was definitely a memorable birthday trip for Spence and me!  Can't wait to go back again!
