Call It What You Want...

Tuesday morning, room service! And yes, it arrived, delicious omlets, bacon, fruit, juice, muffin/danish... No noise but the gobbling of food. Especially nice since it was FREE.

Off to Sea World! It's a Tuesday morning in February; we parked in the very front row close to the gates, went right in and started our fun day, which included the sea lion/otter, dolphin, and Shamu shows, Tim getting to ride several times on the so-called fun roller coaster (I watched), food that wasn't such a rip-off as the previous day's, Jenny petting a dolphin, and a teensy bit of rain at the very end.

It not being a busy day, the wait for just about everything wasn't long at all. We did fork over some money for a small tray of fish (dead) to feed the dolphins. The staff photographers, poised to take photos to sell for high prices to unsuspecting tourists, were more focused on cute subjects, so I must suffice with pictures taken by my loving hubby instead.

(That is my hand to the very left of the image.)

We ate better at Sea World; a barbeque joint offered a three-meat platter (included fries, dinner roll and a drink) for $13 -- this included three spare ribs, two big slices of beef and a quarter chicken. Yeah, didn't go away from that one hungry. (There was also a smoothie, ice cream and a hot dog, but who's counting? Besides, there was a pregnant lady to feed!)

Highlights of the day were the dolphin activities -- including petting, which was pretty neat; and the dolphin show, which was just extravagant -- and probably the penguins (very interesting to watch). Not so much the sharks (sort of a creepy underwater tube to walk through; crowded and a little claustrophobic) and the jewels of the sea aquarium (a little anticlimatic for all its nice name). But a super-fun day and nice place to go.

After Sea World we went to a movie, choosing Queen Latifah's "Last Holiday" as a nice, light break. It was just as it was offered, funny and cute and a little poignant (but not too much). Fun day.
