For anyone who's never been to Seaworld, please meet Shamu. What an amazing creature he is, how they train killer whales to do what they do is just beyond me, I sit there with my mouth wide open in total amazement. What an absolute joy it would be to do that job, I guess a white badge in the doggy paddle just wouldn't cut it!

So today was just the best day ever, well eventually! Good old Tracy wasn't keen on going to Seaworld but being the good pal she is took me coz she knew how much I love it. I promised I'd go on a ride with her and when I saw which it was wished I hadn't. It was the rapids, well I thought not too bad, the one at Alton Towers doesn't get you too wet most of the time. Silly me I forgot this was the Amercan version, I was still drying out 4 hours later! We did laugh though, Tracy kept grabbing my arm as if there was something going to grab her, I told her 'grabbing me won't keep you dry!' (lol)

I just adore the Sea lions Clyde & Seamore, what a hoot they are. My face was aching after watching them, I just smiled all the way through, I just love watching them interact with there trainers.

We didn't actually get to Seaworld until 2pm, with one thing and another (Tracy's hair to be precise! Oh go on then....and me needing brekkie) we left home late on and it's an hour and a half drive from here, so we had 4 hours in the park. The great thing is the ticket we got let's us in again throughout '08 for free, so I think we'll go again next week then I'll leave the ticket for Kimi to go with Tracy and the kids.

So we left Seaworld at 6ish and our bellies were rumbling, so Tracy suggested we go for Persian food, I have to admit I was a little apprehensive, but WOW! It is very similar to kebabs as we know it but all fresh and not processed meat, it came with rice and was really very good, I would definitely go again. So thanks T for introducing me to something new. x.

On our way home I talked T into taking me to Walmart, I just love the place and always get kitted out in there. Tracy doesn't like it in there she prefers Target which to me is OK but for what I like shopping for which as you know is clothes Walmart rocks for me. (Yes OK I got a couple of things!) We stopped of at Starbucks then and I got a hot chocolate which after spending half the day feeling like I'd wet myself I think I deserved!

We have both had a nice bath, well actually Tracy is still in hers, she'll probably finish reading the book she has with her, she has like 3 on the go at once, I don't know how she remembers the different stories. I'm off to my bed now my eyes are falling down as my gorgeous Husband would say, so guys I will bid you goodnight and catch you all again tomorrow.
