Last Day on Vacation

Today was our last day on vacation. We’re in the airport as I write this, waiting to board our flight, though this post won’t be made until we get home because I have no internet connection here. We had to check out of the hotel at Noon, but don’t fly out until about 7:00pm, so we had a fair amount of time between the two, and decided to head back to Sea World. When we were there on Tuesday, there were a few exhibits we wanted to see that were closed. The Polar Bear exhibit and Shark exhibits were both closed, and we didn’t manage to see the Bat Rays and Moray Eels on Tuesday, though they were open. So we checked those things out today, and they were pretty cool. Both Messy and I got to pet Bat Rays, their skin felt like the stuff those little animals that you put in water and then they swell up really big are made of. The Eels were extremely ugly, and vicious looking. I guess they aren’t really all that scary, though. The plaques around them said they are quite shy, and avoid human contact.

We also saw the Dolphin and Shamu shows again, which was cool, because this time around both shows used different animals, including a mother Dolphin and a mother Whale, and their babies. It was really, really fun to see the little baby dolphin and killer whale and the behaviors they’d already learned and to watch them perform.

We’re about to start boarding now, so I’ll wrap this up, but it was a great vacation, and hopeully we’ll have an uneventful trip home.
