It's a Sea World after all

Day one was such a good time and the weather cooperated so nicely – it was 'only' 95 and there was a nice cloud cover – that we had to go back a second time to catch the water park and the coasters.

We fed and petted the dolphins, saw a couple of shows (Shamu being one of them, of course), romped in a vast playground, climbed the 70-odd steps to the top of the water slide five times and cruised in the lazy river for the better part of an hour. The brave ones among us – you know who you are – also rode the Steel Eel coaster twice and endured the insane drop of the Journey to Atlantis ride.

Throughout, we downed ungodly amounts of water and soda to stay somewhat hydrated. A very nice time, even if it wore us all out.
