This weekend, Philip and I took Lia to Sea World in San Antonio. We weren't sure whether or not she was going to be old enough, but it ended up being perfect! She is still young enough to get in free, which is a plus because those tickets aren't cheap, and we were able to spend about 4 hours at the park - from about 8:30 to 12:30 - before heading back to our hotel for a much needed nap. Half a day was the perfect amount of time for us.
We got there before the park opened to do a Sesame Street breakfast, which included meeting Elmo, Zoe, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, and Big Bird. Lia could barely contain herself, she was dancing around the parking lot as we waited to go in singing "Lia's so excited!" over and over : ) It was so cute and definitely made us feel like the whole trip was worth it.
After breakfast, we spent a couple of hours walking around the park hitting all the highlights. We fed the dolphins, which was really cool. Then we saw sharks, penguins, alligators, birds, and sea lions. Finally, we watched Believe, the killer whale show. Seeing those huge whales up close was one of the best parts of the day!
I can't thank Philip enough for such a wonderful Mother's Day gift to me. It was a trip I will never forget. Seeing Lia have such a great time just made the whole weekend for us both!
Enjoy the photos of our wonderful weekend trip to Sea World!

Oh man, if you guys ever want a behind the scenes tour (maybe when Lia gets a bit older), let me know. My sister in law is an animal trainer with the Sea Lion and Otter show and she could probably hook you guys up. If Lia liked this last visit, she might really have a good time on a little tour.
