SeaWorld - Day 4

Day 4 in California we planned to go to San Diego. Once again none of us had been to SeaWorld. By the time we got through traffic it was around 11:00 am. The park was pretty empty...except for a lot of little Kindergarten age kids on field trips. We started by walking through the Clydesdale barn which I thought was kind of weird. I never expected horses at SeaWorld!! We then went over to the Atlantis area where there were a few really fun and playful dolphins.
Then Cirdan, Kaiya, Ella and I went to the Wild Arctic Interaction while my parents went off to see the sea otters? In the Wild Arctic we saw some seals, hand polar bears.

We then went to the Penguin Encounter which was so fun!! I loved those little penguins. They were super cute.


We went to the Shark Encounter. Kaiya was kind of scared of the sharks but I reassured her that they could not hurt her.

We ate some lunch at the Calypso Bay Smokehouse and then headed over to meet my parents at Shamu Stadium to watch the show. After much debate we sat in the splash zone but up on the top row over along the side of the stadium. Fortunately, we did not get wet (I was scared about my cameras). The show was AMAZING. Those animals are so smart...I came out of there wanting to be a trainer.

After the show we saw the flamingos...very pretty...then went to the Sesame Street Presents Lights, Camera, Imagination! A 4-D movie. The movie was such a cool experience. The seats in front of you shot out water so you got a little wet but it totally makes you feel like part of the movie!

Awesome 3D glasses...

Next we went to the Dolphin Stadium which was another very cool show. The dolphins and Shamu were definitely the highlights of the day. After the show we went to the little shops and Kaiya went with my parents to play in the Sesame Street Bay of Play where they rode some rides.





Honestly, I don't know if I would go to SeaWorld again. It was cool but nothing that I would want to see again. I did definitely love that we had the opportunity to experience it.

I absolutely love a fast food restaurant in Arizona named Filibertos. They have very yummy food at such a good price. Every time my dad goes to AZ I make him bring me home a burrito. I had totally spaced it that there are Filibertos in California until my mom mentioned it so I looked it up online at the hotel and they had 2 in San Diego. After we left SeaWorld we went to the best Mexican fast food in the USA. :) I was so giddy.

We started driving about 45 minutes back to Anaheim and decided to turn around and go back so we could see the San Diego temple. We had seen it from the road when we were driving to SeaWorld and it was unbelievable. You see pictures but in real life it is so breathtaking. My mom planted some seeds in Kaiya's head telling her she should get married there when she is older (MUCH older).
