Penguin Experience Tour at SeaWorld
Went on the behind-the-scenes Penguin Experience Tour with Lisa and her daughter Megan. It was my fifth time taking this tour and it was just as amazing as the other four times. We met penguin #0282 which was a juvenile male. Cathie was our excellent tour guide and Carrie was the keeper who presented to us.
