SeaWorld San Diego
Today was a transition day, we packed up our gear after breakfast and drove from Amaheim to San Diego before noon. We checked into our hotel near the harbour then had a short drive to SeaWorld for the afternoon and evening.
We started off with the Shamu show – we’d pre-ordered a picnic lunch and reserved seating for the show; both the food and entertainment were good. Then, at 3:30, we had Mark signed up for the Dolphin Interaction Program. Mark had a short training class, then got about 20-25 minutes in the dolphin pool wit a trainer and dolphin. Mark thought it was “so amazing” and has had a big grin on his face all day. A neat twist to the story is that there was another boy about Mark’s age in his group and both boys were sort of taken under the wing of a fellow who was there with his girlfriend. At the end of the session the fellow proposed! We’d been let in on the secret before hand and made sure to catch the whole event on camera!
It was a pretty neat day.
