Pettin Dolphins and ridin the Kraken

One of the little perks that comes with my Universal ID pass is getting into all kinds of parks here in Orlando for FREE. Yes, I know you're jealous now. Today I opted for SeaWorld. It was actually a lot cooler than I remembered it being when I was a kid. I had such a great time. As you know, I like to learn, and well, I can't think of a better way. I got to pet and feed the dolphins...that was amazing. I touched a sting ray...that's all I could handle of that...too slimy, gross. They kind of looked like giant shitake mushrooms. I talked to the sea lions. One just loved me! And I got completely soaked by the dolphins and Shamu...drenched really. Still fun. I'm so pathetic though. The Shamu show was all serious and they had a little make-a-wish kid there who got to get up close to the whales. I got a little teary eyed. HAHAHA! All emotional and shit. Penguins, manatees, sharks, otters...I loved all of it. Most fun I've had since I've been here. If I get the chance I'll go back again...even if it's just to pet the dolphins and ride this off-the-hook rollercoaster...the Kraken...ooooohhh...scary.
