We've had such a great time this year with our Sea World passes, but the best trip yet was this past Monday. The entire park is set up for Christmas, and many of the normal attractions and shows have been changed into Christmas themed shows. We did the Polar Express (which is usually the Arctic attraction), and we all loved it. First we saw a short movie that made us feel like we were on the Polar Express to the North Pole. After the movie, we entered the attraction, which always has sea lions, walruses, beluga whales, and polar bears, but this time Santa greeted us and the entire place was decorated for Christmas and smelled like hot chocolate.
Next we saw the Shamu show, which has always been Britt's favorite, but I thought they had stepped it up a few notches. An amazing saxaphone player played Christmas carols prior to the show, and then the show had a Miracle theme with lots of Christmas lights and music. It was also our first night-time show, which I thought made it seem even better.
We're hoping to go back once more before our holiday craziness begins. Here's a family pic we had a tourist take of us, which I think turned out pretty good!
