San Antonio - Day 1

For our 5th wedding anniversary we took a ride to San Antonio this year. We have both been to San Antonio, I have been several times but have been wanting to go back for a while. It's a 8 hr drive from New Orleans. We left work early and got to the hotel late Thursday night. Our first day we spend at my favorite park . . SeaWorld :)

My parents and I visited SeaWorld in Orlando, FL on our first trip to the US when I was sixteen.

I just wanted to jump in the water with these guys, it was hot enough for it.

The show was very entertaining. Amazing all the things the sea lions learn.

The next show was Shamu's show "Believe"

I would have jumped in the water with him, too

We noticed that none of the trainers did.

He came by to say 'hi' we sat in the splashing zone, but didn't really get splashed a lot.

The next show was "Azul"

The show was really great. Not only the dolphins jumped up out of the water. Acrobats climbed up in the ceiling and jumped in the water. They put on quite a show.

We went on some of the rides. This one is called 'Atlantis' You go up forwards, then it turns on top and you go down and back through a dip backwards, didn't like that at all and then down into the water.

We also rode 'Texas Splash" which is a ride in a wooden log, that was my favorite. I love it, if the line wouldn't have been so long I would have rode it again.

I did talk myself into riding the "Steel Eel", I didn't really see anything because I had my eyes closed the entire time and just screamed. I used to love roller coasters, but I don't think I can do them any more.

Thank God the "Great White" was closed.

We stopped at the dolphin pool to say good bye before we left the park.

After our day at SeaWorld we went to dinner at Carrabba's.
