San Antonio day 2

We are on day 2 of San Antonio and it is time for Sea World. Steve is having to work a lot in San Antonio this year and Sea World is having a promotion of pay for one day then get the whole year free. We are hoping to make it down there at least one more time this year.

We arrive at Sea World right as it opens and of course my family wants to go straight to the roller coasters. Unfortunately for them we have to wait 40 minutes for it to open so we go check out the penguins for awhile. They ride the Steel Eel and then the Great White twice and I then declare it is time to see the animals. It is finally starting to warm up as we head off to see Shamu. We then watch the sea lion show and the kids feed the sea lions. We head over to the dolphins and run into our neighbors. We didn't know they would be there so it was a nice surprise. We hung out for a few minutes with them and enjoyed an adult beverage. After we left them we headed over to check out the shark reef. We spent a lot of time just watching the fish in the aquariums. At this point we decided we would go to the Riverwalk.

After some time at the hotel to get refreshed we went over to the Riverwalk. The river was dyed green for St Patricks Day. We walked over to Hemisfaire Park and hung out a bit. We then made our way to the Alamo but it was closed. We have been inside a few times before so weren't too upset. We just wandered around the Riverwalk before we headed to Spagetti Wharehouse for dinner. By the time we made it back to the hotel we were exhausted.
