Sea World

We have been saying for years that we would take our girls to Sea World. This past weekend we got the chance. I had a conference (for work) to attend. Mandy was also invited by my work. We decided to take the girls and spend the weekend in Brisbane. The weather was great. Sea World was a blast. Grace and Haylee loved the dolphins, sharks, sting rays and sea lions. Grace did not like the loud music during the shows. Poor girl covered her ears the entire time.

Just about everything seemed to go our way. The weather cleared up just for us. In the airport, we were let to the front of most lines because we were traveling with children. The car rental place upgraded our full size to a luxury sport car for free. It made me really want to keep the Audi A4, much nicer than our Holden. Our hotel gave us a 2 bedroom suite.

The conference was very nice and well put on by SPE. Most days I was able to get home earlier than usual and play with the girls at the swim park. It was right in front of our hotel and girls loved it. One of the nights, we were able to get a sitter and go on a dinner date.

We love going to Seaworld! How fun that you got to see it Australian style! Your picture is so cute - and I really like the stroller off to the side...it looks just like mine when I try to take the whole crew anywhere :) good times!

Houston is going to be soooooo dull when you return-an hour flight gets you to Brownsville. Live it up!
