Maya has been wanting to go to Sea World for a few years now, so when we went to Disneyland we decided it was worthwhile to drive to San Diego to go there. The rest of the family spent this day traveling around Venice Beach so it was just me, Josh and Maya.
The Shamu show was great. We all love whales and we loved all the jumps and tricks they did.
The whole front half of the stadium is the "Soak Zone" so we chose to sit farther back. We were surprised at how many people got up and moved once the whales started splashing - what did they think Soak Zone meant? The whale trainer said that the whales' goal is to get as much water out of the tank as possible - and they were very good at it!
We got to feed and pat the dolphins - we loved that!
The Seal Show...
...with a cute little otter.
This pilot whale can jump so high out of the water! I would love to be the trainer who does this trick.
I've always thought skiing on dolphins looks like so much fun. I really should have gone into this profession!
Penguins
I don't think I have ever seen puffins before and it was really interesting to see how they dive in the water.
Polar Bear
Maya and I love belugas. The gray beluga is a baby. We learned that they are gray until they are about 2 years old and not fully white until about 7.

That looks like so much fun. We spent our honeymoon in San Diego, there are lots of cool things there.
I love Sea World. My favorite thing from our trip to Orlando a few years ago was feeding the dolphins--but we had way more people there. It looks like you went on a good day.
