Vacation - Day 3

On Wednesday, Darrin worked in the morning and then we decided to go to Sea World. We knew we wanted to go to one park but couldn't decide between Sea World, Disney World or Animal Kingdom. Following the advice of many, we went to Sea World.

We arrived at the hottest part of the day....I forgot the tickets in the car & had to walk back and get them...Miles did not feel good...he was coughing a lot and cranky....and Darrin had a terrible headache. I guess it just wasn't in the cards for us on Wednesday. We tried to tough it out for a little while.

He looks like he's really enjoying this but really he just wanted Darrin to hold him.

This is the ice wall in the Arctic exhibit. We all wanted to rub our faces all over it to cool down. This exhibit had to be the highlight of Sea World part I.

After watching Shamu...

....we decided to call it a day. It just wasn't working out and I'm ok with that. When you plan activities like this with a 22 month old, you have to be prepared for things to possibly not go as planned. I've also learned that there is not such thing as "getting your monies worth" with a toddler. You just have to ride it til it won't go anymore...and that's where we were after Shamu. Our tickets allowed us to come back for free within 7 days. We decided to leave and maybe come back the next night, or not, and whichever we decided was fine.

So, we went back to the hotel and went swimming...







Based on these smiles, I'd say it was the best decision we made all day...


For dinner, we went to O'Charleys. We wanted something good to eat without a big production. We ate dinner and brought caramel pie back to the hotel for dessert....second best decision all day.

At dinner, Miles started a new trick....pretend sleeping, which includes snoring. We were cracking up. Now, anytime we say, "Miles show us how you sleep"....this is the show we get...


Day 3 started a little rocky with the Sea World bust, but shaped up with the swimming. Tune in tomorrow to see if we went back to Sea World for more torture fun.
