Took my mom walking at SeaWorld to continue her birthday celebration. I first went to Guest Services to get her a birthday button but they were out of them. Instead they gave her a voucher for a complimentary feeding tray at the seals and sea lions, which I thought was pretty cool. Inside the entrance we …

Went for a weekly walk at SeaWorld with my mom and was getting a little bored of always taking pictures of the same things. I had recently seen something on TV about the tanks at the Journey To Atlantis ride housing mantas instead of Commerson dolphins so I decided to focus on them. And some …

Once again I took my mom to SeaWorld for our weekly jaunt around the park. We started things off by getting our picture taken with the always-friendly, O.P. Otter, after which we ran into our old Terrific Tuesday friends, Shirley and Paul, whom we see pretty much every time we go. This was the first …

Took my mom back to SeaWorld for this week’s walkabout. It was wonderfully empty. Came across a new animated conservation mascot I’ve seen before but never really paid attention to or photographed. She’s drawn super Disney-ish cute and is just outside the Turtle Reef exhibit. Not much noticeable change to the Manta installation. We did …

Went for a regular Tuesday walk at SeaWorld with my mom today and ran into some of the old Terrific Tuesday elderly walking group. We stopped and chatted a while about the efforts my mom and I are making to bring back the group in some form. At the end of our day we also …

Had a great trip to SeaWorld today. Started out as just a walking visit with us seeing a Bearded Dragon named Pancake, a Water Monitor named Clyde, a Two-toed Sloth, a Capybara, a buttload of Penguins, dozens of Sea Turtles, some Moon Jellyfish and a seven-armed Sea Star. Our visit then turned into a deli …

Took my mom for our second walking visit of the year to SeaWorld San Diego. It was another perfect, sunny day with two employees telling us we picked a perfect day to come since it was so empty. Spent a little more time checking out the animals at “Animal Connections” such as two llamas named …

Took my mom walking at SeaWorld today for our first of hopefully many visits to come. We ran into some friends, Paul and Shirley, that we made from back in the Terrific Tuesdays days. My mom was hoping to run into them to find out how Shirley’s hip-replacement surgery went. My God, when did my …

Went walking at SeaWorld with my mom which is something we temporarily stopped doing during the summer months because of the crowds. Saw some interesting animals, not the usual, expected kind: three five-month Arctic Fox siblings, a five-year old Bearded Dragon named Pancake, a European Glass Lizard that was also around five-years old and a …

Spent the entire day out at SeaWorld San Diego as tour guide for my visiting high school classmate, Barbara. Even though it was a pretty crowded day we still managed to hit almost all the shows and exhibits. Ended our day at the new Shamu show called One Ocean and, after sitting behind Julie Scardina …

Spent a fun day being tour guide at SeaWorld San Diego to three of my hardcore Disney friends, Denise, Jeff and Disney sculptor, Bruce. Saw more shows and exhibits than I have in a long time. Felt good being touristy again. One mega suckiness: really disappointed that Mama Stella’s took the Eggplant Parmesan off the …

Walked around SeaWorld San Diego with my mom today. Saw a bunch of new stuff like two young Red Kangaroos (got to pet one named Elle for Elle MacPherson), an Owl Monkey whose name I forgot, a Pygmy Hedgehog named Hodgepodge that I also got to pet, got to hold a Decorator Crab, saw two …

Spent a few hours at SeaWorld San Diego, first on my own, then with Mary and her daughter Diana. A large section towards the back was completely closed off to the public because they started construction on the new Manta roller coaster. (pics…)

Spent the entire day out at SeaWorld with the Onellions, the family visiting from Hawaii. My mom was there for most of it as well.

Walked around SeaWorld San Diego with my mom again, this time with a stop to check out the Penguins, inside and outside.
