Sea World San Antonio

We went to Sea World about a month ago, just the three of us and it was a blast!  It is a short drive to San Antonio from Austin, so we packed the car and headed out after nap time and pulled into a great restaurant (Acenar) downtown that Jon and I had eaten at several years ago just in time for dinner.  We spent two full days (minus nap time- we CANNOT miss our nap) at Sea World and enjoyed the new Sesame Street Bay of Play.  Jack loved the little song and dance show all the characters performed and meeting Big Bird and Elmo!  There were four rides he could ride as long as an adult was with him and after each ride he would hold up his little pointer finger and say "one more", as in he wanted to keep riding.  We had to explain to him that we have to get off the ride and wait in line before we can ride again.  He understood and patiently (most of time) waited in the very short lines.

Jack also loved getting to see the animals and the shows, though we couldn't really sit through all of the shows we went to see (you spend a large portion of a toddler's sitting quota waiting for the show to start, so it was understandable).  Jack, of course, picked a stuffed Shamu as his souvenir and now it has been added to the menagerie of animals he sleeps with (I think Shamu makes nine).  While it was hot, Jack, thankfully, naps during the hottest portion of the day and there was lots of shade in the kid's area of the park.  We ate at The Rainforest Cafe, thinking Jack would love the atmosphere, which he did!  He spent a large portion of his mealtime waving at the gorillas across the way and staring at the fish tank next to him!  The whole trip was full of good food, lots of fun, and great memories!  I forgot my camera on the trip, so here are some pics from the trusty iPhone!

Worn out- we had to wake him up from this nap, he had been asleep for 4 hours at this point!

On his first ride ever! Jon and Jack are in the green car at the bottom.  By the way, this is the world's slowest ferris wheel (understandably, since it is for toddlers) and not recommended in 105 degree heat.
