Wow, that was so exciting!
Can you believe it? I’m blogging; shocked?
Yeah, well, this is really something to blog about… read on…
I’m writing from the Country Inn in
This year, NSSEA and SeaWorld worked out some kind of deal; basically, we all got in free. And SeaWorld set up an entire section just for us. First, we had dinner. The food was excellent! Then, we all made our way over to a MASSIVE auditorium with a very large water tank where this expert guitarist (btw, he was one of the best sweepers I’ve ever seen… errrrr… heard. He really knew what he was doing) played while we watched killer whales perform quite the show. These whales would jump clean out of the water with a diver standing on the tip of its nose! Like I said, and I’ll say it again, the music was awesome. :P
Simply said, it was exciting. After that was finished, we walked over to another location, where we all gathered around this magnificent lake. There, we watch an excellent show that was displayed on a… mist wall! Seriously, they had huge fountains and a massive (I know I keep using that word but that’s really the only way to describe it) spout that shot tons and tons of mist into the air in a condensed area. There was so much mist, they were able to display, with a projector, a beautiful production on the mist wall and accompanied it with a wonderful fireworks display. The whole thing was very exciting. More exciting than it seems; trust me.
Just as we were leaving some artists drew some funny pictures of the kids. I’ll post them soon. And little Susanni did very well. She enjoyed it just as much as I did, I think…
I’ll post some pictures of her later. She’s gotten a bit bigger since the last pictures and she is totally trying to talk now, so cute.
So, here it is now, the end of the day. I am extremely tired. So, I’m afraid I’ll have to end it here without giving further details on the day. I’m just really tired, ha.
Everything was so great but I heavily regret forgetting the camera. I left it in the car. :P
Anyhow, I just wanted to update you all on our trip. We’ll be back in TN soon. Just after we eat at our favorite restaurant, no where to be found in TN, Cheveys! When I get home, I’ll write about the rest of the trip, which of course, has not yet taken place. Yeah, ok, it’s late…
Nighters!

Ok, I am so glad you got to go to SeaWorld. Sounds like a lot of fun. :) I think all of my family would thoroughly enjoy it.
Hope your trip is a safe and enjoyable.
I have to go now to… Mom is playing EVERY version of Amazing Grace and I have to go see if there are any that I’d like. THe bagpipes from the actual film sound really neat.
See you in a few??

Hey dude… wow, you left a comment. :) So will this be a regular occurrence now since you got your laptop all set-up? jk!
I hope we get to see you when you come up. That would be a total bummer if we didn’t. I heard Schooter got a babysitter though. Whoo hehe
And I see on your top comments that I have two names up there… change the ones that say “Jocelyn @ A Pondering Heart” to just Jocelyn. That way I’ll be right under Amanda. LOL
