Shamu, Shamu!!

Over the weekend, we played tourist again. On Saturday afternoon, we played miniature golf at Congo River Safari Golf. (This was, of course, after the University of Tennessee football game!) Here is Vol Fan showing off his form! Truth told, we both suck! I had started the afternoon with makeup and flat-ironed hair. You know, the works! But, dear God, it was hot! So I ended up looking like a drowned rat!We ended the evening at Downtown Disney and dinner at Planet Hollywood. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. The food was good (especially the ribs!) but it was REALLY loud and all the memorabilia looked like it needed a good cleaning! And I was expecting more from Downtown Disney - like everything to be over the top. Even the Disney store was small!

On Sunday we had a great day. Sea World!! We petted sting rays. We fed dolphins.

We saw alligators, manatees, sharks, polar bears, seals, sea lions, and the Budweiser Clydesdales.

Vol Fan got picked to take part in the Clyde and Seamore show!

But you just can't beat trained, jumping whales!




For anyone planning a visit, here's a tip! If you want to get wet (and I mean REALLY wet) at the Shamu show, sit in the 1st ten rows of the section that is second or third from the far right if you are facing the stage. I was basically sitting center and got splashed twice (and that water is COLD!) and was really, really wet. The people in the section on the right got splashed 10-12 times. They were dripping!

PS - If you like roller coasters, don't miss Kraken!!
