On Dec 30th we took Athena to SeaWorld. The weather was perfect no wind, sunny and 77 degrees. Athena was wide eyed and actually sat still for the entire whale show. Mom and Dad were in awe too. There was a big pool where you could touch and feed the dolphins it was soooo awesome. We WILL be going back before we leave Texas.
