Praise the pig and pass the napkins

We were very happy to learn that San Antonio has a Seaworld so we decided to spend the day there.

We first went over to the Dolphin Cove.  They have six dolphins swimming around in a huge pool.  What’s really cool is that  you can buy a tray of fish and actually feed them.  We spent a lot of time with the dolphins and took many pictures.  It was early in the morning and not many people around, so we got to see them up close. and pet some of them.

Next up was Shamu in his show called “Believe”.  When you walk into the stadium, they actually indicate which rows are in the splash zone.  The best part of the show is when the whales soaked the audience.

We picked up a quick snack at Sea Star Market before heading over to catch “Viva!”.  This show uses acrobats along with dolphins and beluga whales.  We also visited the penguins, seals, sea lions and sharks.  All of them were very entertaining.

After a long day of walking (the park is over 250 acres), we left to go and get some dinner.  We decided to check out one of the recommendations that Karen picked up from the gentleman that was sitting behind us on our flight, Tom’s Ribs.  I’m glad that Karen is a good listener because the food was very good. 

We ended our day by doing what else … shopping.  They actually have a Container Store here (for all those organized people) and a nice mall (North Star Mall) which is practically next door to our hotel.  How convenient!
