We visited Sea World in San Diego twice in a week. Their Shamu show (whale show) called 'believe' is unbelievable. We were lucky to also catch their sounds and lights holidays version in the evening with live music entertainment. Anurag and I had done whale watching tour 8 years back in Cape Cod and Shamu turned out to be a great memory refresher, actually even better. It was incredible to see 17000-22000 pounds heavy Whales so well trained and so elegant.We had visited the Aquarium in Chicago a few years back but I don't remember seeing anything like this. Avi loved watching whales but his favorite part was going thru' the transparent tunnel on electronic walkway where we could see Sharks swimming all around us. It was something to see those guys up close as they swam over us. Avi enjoyed simulated helicopter ride in their Arctic Zone and we were all fascinated by graceful Beluga Whales. We saw Walruses, Polar Bears, Penguins and managed to see all the holiday shows of Dolphins, Sea Lions and Pets. Yep, they had a show called "Pets rule" and it was hilarious watching dogs, cats, birds, and even pigs perform tricks that left us saying 'VOW' !
Neev LOVED watching Sesame Streets show in Sea World and wasn't a bit scared going on Elmo airplane ride and tea cup ride. He kept saying 'whee.....ee......' all the way and just wasn't ready to leave that place.
What did Anurag and I enjoy most - an hour's quiet ride back home with double shot of espresso (kids were so tired they had fallen asleep the minute they settled in their car seats).
