Today Scott and I went to SeaWorld together with his good old friends, the couple Frankie and Selene. Before we went to Frankie's house to meet them, we went first to Kaiser Hospital to get my X-ray result. I am having all the TB Skin test and Xray test done again because the County of San Diego has to sign a clearance for me to make sure I'm TB free when I moved here. They are so strict with this disease that anyone who had a history of this has to undergo multiple kinds of tests. :(
After going to Kaiser and getting clearance from their doctor so we could present it to the County, we headed to Frankie's house and met the couple there. We decided to bring only 1 car with Selene driving it.
The first stop we had is to watch the Shamu show. Shamu is the Killer whale who is the lead star of this theme park. He is a killer whale but he is so adorable and sweet the entire show. He just made us laugh and awed with how cute he looks like from doing all the tricks of the show.
The energy of Selene, Frankie, and Scott are so high that we ended up riding the Manta Ray ride twice on that day. It was a rough roller coaster that made me scream the whole time I was in it and just wishing that the ride would stop soon.

Then we also rode the Atlantis ride that splashes water as you go down the trail ride. It was so high that I don't feel like riding something like this since I just had a Manta Ray ride, but Selene and Frankie wants it so bad that Scott and I ended up riding it too. I mean, the reason we were there is to have fun so might as well try everything. After the ride, Selene ended up soaking wet down from her waist. She has to buy a sweat pants so she can change as the weather was chilly that day that it's not comfortable to wear a damp clothing or you will end up sick.

Scott is trying to talk them out on riding this Atlantis ride. |

His effort was futile because the couple really wants it so bad.
Then we head to the Dolphin afternoon show. The show was cool because as the dolphins are doing their tricks, there were some live acrobats also diving and dancing in the stage. |
After the shows and the rides, we tried exploring more the theme park and we just went see the different aquariums showcasing all the sea creatures.

This is the 2nd tourist destination I have been to in San Diego. I just thank the Lord for the opportunity of visiting these places here. I am crossing fingers and praying also that I would be able to bring my family here from the Philippines so they can experience this themselves. :)
