Chris and Aaron arrived at Orlando International Saturday night at about 9:15PM. By the time we picked them up and got back to the coach, it was after 10PM, so we got settled and went to bed for the night.
On Sunday morning, we awoke to a tropical rain storm. During the night, we had a wild thunderstorm, but Aaron managed to sleep through it. Can't say the same for Beasley, though. He absolutely abhors thunderstorms! He actually trembles when it thunders. Poor guy! Fortunately, the storm only lasted about 15 - 20 minutes, then it just rained for the rest of the night. At about 10, we headed off to Sea World to spend the day. Just as we arrived at the parking lot, the sky opened up again, so we decided to wait in the car until it passed. Finally, we headed into the park as the rain subsided about 10 minutes after it started. If you have not been to Sea World recently, or ever, this park is a MUST! We attended several shows, saw lots of sea creatures, and generally had a blast! We also took lots of pictures here, so check out the web albums after you read the blog.
After Sea World, we spent some time at the pool, back at the resort. Aaron loves the pool! He is like a fish in the water.
On Monday, we awoke to a beautiful day, so we headed off to Disney's Animal Kingdom to spend another exciting day exploring the wonders of wild animals. As luck would have it, so did about 100,000 other people. It was very crowded at Animal Kingdom on Monday. It took us 1 hour and twenty minutes to get onto the African Safari ride, which turned out to be a "bust", since we didn't see very many animals, since they were spending the day "in their caves/lairs/habitats/dens, due to the heat. This was not a very good "take", according to Aaron. He thought he would be able to get close enough to the animals to "pet" them, so he was disappointed when we couldn't.
For the weekend, here's Aaron's grades for the parks: Sea World - two thumbs up!
Animal Kingdom - so so!
