A Day in the Life: Our Cali Trip Day 5

Our Fifth day in California was also our three year wedding anniversary. We spent the day at Sea World San Diego. We had so much fun. We saw a few of the shows including the Shamu Show Believe and the Dolphin Show. We also saw Cirque de la Mer. Captain was in total awe of all the animals. His jaw was dropped almost the whole time. Also, the animals seemed to have an attraction to him. When we were petting the sting rays (de-barbed) my arm was in the water almost up to my shoulder trying to reach them. All at once, I looked down and there was a sting ray resting its head on the edge of the rocks right next to Captain's feet. I quickly took his hand and put it on the ray's head. Captain didn't think much of that, but he didn't really protest it either. Then, when we were getting ready to go, we went through the Arctic Zone. We were sitting next to the tank with the walruses and Captain was sitting on the ledge. (This was one of those aquariums where you are below the surface of the water looking through glass.) Next thing I know, the walrus is right up against the glass next to Captain rubbing up and down on the glass and kissing it and then going up to get some air and coming back down and doing this all over again. The other walruses were paying no attention to people at all. As a matter of fact, they were off swimming far in the distance. It was so cool. Captain really didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. At first he was a little nervous, but he came to me and I held him next to the glass and he thought it was so cool then. We had such a great time and it was nice to enjoy our anniversary in such a memorable place with our family. That night we went back to Uncle R's house and visited with him for a little while then we all went to sleep. It had been such a long day.
