Trip to Sea World

We decided to take Brooke on a trip to Sea World for her birthday. Keith and I took the day off work so we could avoid the weekend crowds. We talked up the trip for weeks, and even showed Brooke a you tube video of Shamu. On the day of the trip we left Austin about 7 AM. We stopped and had breakfast at Chick-Fil-A in San Marcos. Annabelle was even able to play in the play center there. We got to the park right as they were opening at 10. The lines were not long at all and after we cleared the gates we headed to the Shamu show. It was a great show. Brooke even got to take her picture with the trainers. After Shamu we walked to the Sesame Street area. We were just in time for Brooke to see all of the characters; including her favorite Elmo. She also got to ride real rides in the Sesame Street land. After about 3 rides, it started to rain. They shut all the rides down so we headed to the Penguin exhibit. We stayed there for over 2 hours waiting for the rain to stop. Finally we decided to call it a day. The park gave us passes to come back on another day. We are hoping to come back later this summer with another family from church.
