Shamu...

Wes surveying Shamu very intently.
Shamu saying hi.

Our Family.

Let me start by saying that I am not the first person to volunteer to play dominos or even and card game. Okay, any game at all. And for that matter I was always reluctant to go to amusement parks and such things because well, I was always busy with sports so I like to be home when I could.

But now, since sports have taken a back seat and I mean like back of the bus seat, I have changed. I like to go places that are new and enjoy them as much as Wes does...most of the time. Sitting and watching Seseame Street characters parade around stage isn't exactly my cup of tea, but for the sake of Wes I would do just that. Wil and I have been talking about going to Sea World San Antonio, TX for a couple of weeks now. But with some slight bad weather and just other things to go and see we just hadn't gotten around to going. Upon realizing that our time in San Antonio is about to end we decided that this is the weekend that we are going, no matter what!

I started the day a little grumpy. Wes was reluctant to get dressed and sit in his carseat for yet another ride and Wil..well, if you know Wil, you know he is always in good spirits ( such a good man ) Our drive was almost over and I could see the park. My excitement was on overdrive. I wouldn't even let a $15.00 parking fee ruin my day at Sea World. We made it to the park just in time to catch the opening show for Shamu. We sprinted down to the middle section and got prime seats. All three of us were just so ready for the show to begin.

The show was uh, amazing. I was filled with all the emotions you can possibly think of and yes, I think I might have shed a tear when they played the sappy music and the killer whale moved gracefully through the water gliding ever so elegantly. Isn't that odd..killer whale and graceful in one sentence. But that is exactly what it was. Wil, Wes, and I had the best time. All of you should go.

The day was filled with new experiences and I am so happy that I got to finally see Shamu that I think I could burst!
