Day Seven - Seaworld & Bahama Breeze

I can’t remember what we had for breakfast so presume it must have been a Counter Service at Pop Century.



We got to Seaworld in time for opening at 9.00am and headed straight to Dolphin Cove. They weren’t selling the trays of fish until 9.30am which meant that the dolphins were happy to come up the “free” end as no-one was feeding them. We were the first people at the side of the pool so had a good few minutes of attention from them which the boys loved.





We then had a look at the Stingray. They have got to be the hardest things to take photos of!





We headed to Turtle Point and had a quick look here before heading over to the 10am Clyde and Seamore Show to get seats in good time to watch the mime show (rather than be involved in the mime show!). This was hilarious! He was the best thing in Seaworld for me! The boys enjoyed the show here and so did we.







We went to do Kraken next and I couldn’t believe how short the queue was! There was no queue at all. I loved this rollercoaster and wish now I had gone on again.

Then Kev had a go and I managed to get a photo of him (back row):



Next we did Journey to Atlantis where we were impressed that Freddie was tall enough to ride. He went with Kev first while me & Tommy watched and I managed to get some photos of them:



The test for whether he enjoys things or not is whether he wants to go again or now and this time he did so I went on with him. No queue again for this. We both enjoyed it (Freddie was telling me all the way round what was coming next!).

Tommy was a bit miffed that he didn’t get to go on it but he soon got over it!



Next we headed round to the Shamu Stadium to watch the 12pm Believe. We grabbed some hot dogs and crisps before we went in and ate them while we were waiting for the show to start. I thought the boys would enjoy this since they had enjoyed the Clyde and Seamore show so much but they were bored. I did enjoy it but it was a bit corny for my liking!






After Believe we headed to the Clydesdale Hamlet to have a look at the horses (My Dad has two Clydesdales himself at home so although they weren’t very exciting for us we thought we better take some photos for him!)



We headed for Shamu’s Happy Harbor doing the Sea Carousel first:




Tommy played for ages on some big boat thing (he loves boats, pirate ships etc.) while Kev took Freddie on Shamu Express. Then we made the mistake of letting them play in the water area (with no change of clothes).



They got absolutely soaked and there was no way we were going to be able to go and watch Blue Horizons with them like this! I bought them a couple of Seaworld T-shirts and stripped their wet shorts off. We wrapped there lower halfs in their jumpers and strapped them in the buggies!




We went to the Shark Encounter and the Penguin Encounter. Then we watched the Pearl Divers for a bit. Our last point of call was to see the Alligators before making our way for the exit.


We decided on an early tea at Bahama Breeze and got there for about 5.00pm.

Since I was the one not driving I had a rare drink as I had heard so much about the Bahamaritas. It was delicious and I would recommend them to anyone!

For starters we ordered the Roasted Cuban Bread:


And the Island Onion Rings:


They were gorgeous. I could just eat that Cuban Bread now thinking about it!

For main meal Kev chose the Wood Grilled Angus Burger and loved it:


I had the West Indies Ribs which were the best I had ever had:


Tommy chose a Cheese Pizza:


Freddie had Macaroni Cheese:


We didn’t have room for desert so we paid our bill and headed back to the hotel for an early night after our later night the night before.

Great pics and as usual you make me hungry with all that food, Thuy says she put 10kg on in the first 6 months in the US, now I know she be telling the truth.

The Kids (all 4 of them) are lucky to holiday like this, even if you go back this will be the one all holidays are now compared to.
