I've only gone once before, and I wasn't too impressed. I saw some sad animals, including a very lonesome looking polar bear, and the whole excursion just made me pretty mopey. I don't enjoy seeing animals held in capivity. But, since my padre told me to pick two parks that I wanted to go to, I figured I'd give Sea World another try.
I'm so glad I did.
I went into it with an open mind, saw some incredibly beautiful shows (especially A'Lure; positively gorgeous) and got up close & personal with some precious baby dolphins.
And some killer whale love.
