We woke up the next morning ready more than ever to see Drew and Dad. We were able to get an early check in at our resort, so we headed to Paradise Point and hit the pool! I splashed around and Mom read her book for a few hours and then we went back to the bungalow and got ready to see our family. We drove over to the airport, and were standing around people watching, when here comes Drew at full speed ready to stampeded into me. We hugged for a while and then I got a hug from Daddy, who couldn’t stop talking about how much I’ve changed. We got back to Rosie and Drew and I caught up with each other while laying in the back on top of sleeping bags. We got to the resort and I practically dragged Drew through the secret passageway that we found, eager to show her how close we really were to the ocean. Once Mom and Dad got back to the bungalow, we brought in their luggage and Drew and I strapped into swimsuits and didn’t take them off until almost 8:00! We played on the beach until it go dark, and then we headed over to the pool. That night we ended up at the ‘house’ for a movie/ tv night.

We were woken up the next morning by housekeeping knocking on our door. We were tired! We got up and after a few games on the iPad with Drew, we got ready for SeaWorld! When we first arrived, we were greeted by an amazing sculpture of a tidal wave ready to crash onto the entrance.
We walked around and got to touch what I called mini sharks, starfish, and horseshoe crabs. By the time we had a minute to look at the time, we realized that we were going to be late for the Shamu Show, and so we rushed over to the stadium and got seats a little to far away from the tank and watched an amazing show including the killer whales, and the people in the front of the soak zone.
After we finished that, we went over to the Great Arctic and went to a 4-D move where they made it seem like you were in a helicopter in the arctic. I’m surprised that I didn’t see anyone throw up! We got to see all of the penguins and the different climates that they were all adapted to. Next, We went on popular ride ; The Journey to Atlantis, which consisted of tight turns, water effects, and long drops. To compare it to something you might have been on, it was liked sitting in the front of Splash Mountain, to the extreme. I thought that it was pretty fun.
Then we went to what Drew had been wanting to do the whole time we had been there; the turtles! It was really interesting to see how they swim, it is beautiful. We went over to the Dolphin Stadium and sat much closer to the front, hoping to get a bit more wet. The dolphin show was pretty amazing, but it was way less animals and way more people. My favorite part of the show was when the actors/trainers were riding on the dolphins. It looked liked so much fun! Even though we were in the soak zone, we didn’t get that wet.
We were so hot and were ready to get back to the resort and so after a quick ride we went back to the resort. We had another wonder family night.

We were so tired from the previous day’s events, we were ready for a nice day of relaxation. We headed over to the dock and rented 1 paddle board and 1 wave runner and spent a few hours on those. We needed a little break from chaos so we headed back to the bungalow and took a break.
We then headed into town and found an awesome little place that we got family mani- pedis at and had a wonderful family dinner.

The next morning, Mom and Dad packed up the van and Drew and I went to the gift shop and each picked out a souvenir. We all piled in the van and went over to the airport to drop them off. It was hard to let go but we knew that we would see each other in a few weeks, and we pulled away. Mom and I were anxious to get to Arizona and have some grandparent time so we hit the highway East right away.
Fabulous adventures!
