Sea World

Last weekend Andre and I took a mini-vacation to Sea World. I'd been putting in a lot of hours at work due to this case I was on and we all needed a break. I booked a little resort by the park and we spent one day at Sea World and one day at the resort. It was awesome.

The girls loved Sea World. Rowan was amazed by Shamu. She kept pointing and clapping at the Orcas; even clapping when other onlookers had stopped. In one part of the show they lower this big ball and Shamu jumps out of the water and hits the ball with his big mouth. Rowan was entranced. Evelyn was entertained for about five minutes and then grew tired of the killer whale and his antics. She spent most of the time studying the wheel of the stroller.

The girls were too little to ride any of the rides. Fortunately, my sister, nephew and his friend met up with us. Laura (sister) traded off watching the girls so we could enjoy the roller coasters. I don't know what it is about roller coasters, but they seem to become scarier as one gets older.

My mother and grandmother joined us all back at the resort. It was such a nice trip for all of us. I feel as if I can work and work and lose sleep, and stress out, if only I can have these nice getaways from time to time. Sure, it required me waking up at 5:30am Monday morning to drive to court, but it was worth it.

The girls seemed to have a good time too. They jumped on the big bed, and pushed luggage carts around, they swam in the pool, and ate lunch on the balcony. It was as much a vacation for them as it was for us.
