We made a somewhat spontaneous decision to do something fun for New Year's and use our yearly pass for Sea World.
First stop, tacos! We happily discovered that our favorite taco spot has several locations.
Last time we were there:
A lot has changed in 3 years!
P.s. Colin is as tall as me now :(
It was different going at night, but they had everything decorated for the Holidays and fireworks at closing. We were only able to see one show; a Holiday musical...usually they do a dog show here and I kept waiting for the dogs to come out, but no dogs ever came.
This is how impressed Colin was with the penguins.
Sure wish I could take credit for the cute little boy in the photo. I'll just pretend he goes with us.
Christmas flamingos!
We sipped some hot cocoa and watched the dolphins. We didn't see them jump, but it's still amazing to see them swim around.
And our own viewing of the orca.
Then we got to count down for the east coast ball drop and watch fireworks.
It was a spectacular night!
I had to pinch myself as we were leaving. This is the first time that we didn't have to go back to a hotel or drive back to Yuma...we just drove home and that felt pretty amazing.
