Sea World, ...... Don't Miss It!

Published: July 6th 2009

Sea World, San Diego, was probably our favourite site in California. We absolutely enjoyed every minute! Janice, Nathanael and I spent two days at the park, not only because there was so much to see, but the ticket price included a two-day visit, anyway. (It was the same in Busch Garden and the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, but, sadly, Nathanael and I only had one day to give those sites so w... Read Full Entry

Clyde? ... or ... Seamore?

I'm not just sure who this is, but the show was hilarious! He's laughing his head off, isn't he?

OP Otter

What a little scamp this character was, ... as cute as he was mischievous.

Forbidden Reef

Bat rays swim in the pool at Forbidden Reef. We were all excited to be able to touch these creatures. For a nominal sum (which we all thought was astronomical) we could have fed them, as well.

Petting the Rays

Here Nathanael pats the side of the pool to attract the rays so he can pet them. They feel like slippery rubber.

Rocky Point Preserve

Dolphins swam right up to us on the other side of the glass. This one was only two feet away.

Freshwater Acquarium

Rainbowfishes, native to Australia and New Guinea, are truly a rainbow underwater.

The Tide Pool

Here is Nathanael caressing the lobster-coloured sea stars. If you were careful, you could actually lift them off of the rock bed to which they suctioned themselves.

The Pets Stadium

The "Pets Rule" show was an incredibly funny presentation of tricks and animal skill. How did they train those geese? We all wanted to take home the little daschund who stole our hearts.

Shipwreck Rapids

Here is Nathanael, almost at the end of this ride, surprisingly not very wet like some of the other unfortunate passangers. His 'donut' is just beginning to ascend the gigantic corkscrew.

Journey to Atlantis

I'm sure it's plain to everyone why Nathanael goes on these rides himself. They would be burying me at sea after dropping down this waterslide! Aaaaaaarrrrggghhh!

A Tired Little Boy

After a full day of touring and enjoying the rides, Nathanael still is not ready to head back to the car, up the mountain, and into bed. Yes, he is wet and getting cold, but if he had his way, he would stay until the park closes.
