SeaWorld


SeaWorld is a huge aquatic park located on Mission Bay. You can also find SeaWorld in Orlando and San Antonio. There were plans for Dubai but they have been shelved for now.

I've been to the park at least three times previously but you know, I always seem to miss something.

Shamu and friends


Sea lion and otter show, very cute!Fancy a trip to the Arctic? There's a copter waiting for you!


Remember that Walrus you met in my last post? Here he is in all his glory!



A Beluga whale checking YOU out!

Just in time to catch the next flight out to Resolute Bay!

Shades of JAWS...sh...sh...SHARK!

Who is that strange fellow staring at us?
Calling Captain Nemo!







Don't these star fish look like autumn leaves?






My nephew feeding the manta rays. They feel oddly spongy.

This guy looks cranky!
Next post the beautiful gardens of SeaWorld!

  1. What a beautiful tour. I love the shot of the swimming turtle - great capture! And the starfish are wonderful. What a fun trip. We are an hour and a half away from San Antonio, and somehow have never made it to Sea World. Cait has been, heck my Mom has been. We're going to have to take my niece sometime, she would love it.

  2. Wow-it's all so beautiful. I went to Seaworld in Florida as a child and remember how amazing it was. Thanks for taking me to such fond memories:).

    Blessings,

  4. What a tour! I'm so envious of you going there not once but three times! The flamingoes are my favourites but that walrus is rather adorable and some of those other critters have the cutest of fishy faces. Thanks for sharing! xxx

  5. Well, thank you very much! I enjoyed a long overdue visit back to SeaWorld San Diego. It was at the very same park that my eldest played in the snow for the first time. Yes, snow, at SeaWorld San Diego. There were great mounds of it made in December. I dressed him in a cute little alpine sweater, hat, boots (where did I get boots?) and gloves. He played while his baby brother sat in a stroller in a sunsuit. Fun times!

    Best,
    Bonnie

  11. Thanks so much for the tour, Bonnie!! I've never been to Sea World...it sounds like a lot of fun! We have the big Shedd Aquarium here but it is no way like this. I'd love to see the whales and seals!!

  14. I miss Seaworld. I used to go there all the time as a kid when I lived in Florida, but there doesn't seem to be one close to where I live now (Missouri). Sigh. I do love these photos though. They take me back. :)
