SeaWorld Trip
First off let me say thanks to my school for letting us go on this field trip. I had the most fun on a school related trip than ever. And now on to the juicy stuff. So we live a 4-6 hour drive from SeaWorld so it took awhile to get there. Mostly people play Nintendo DS’s in a PictoChat room or playing Mario Kart DS. Once we got there we had to sit on the bus for another 15 min so the chaperones could get everything situated with SeaWorld. Once they did that, they let us get our luggage from the bottom of the bus. We had finally arrived! The time was 5:00 pm EDT. They led us through the secondary gate and into a classroom thing where we put all of our bags down. We were then let to a pavilion where we were told the rules of SeaWorld. After that we made shark-tooth necklaces with a few beads and, of course, the shark tooth. We then had dinner and dessert. Dinner was composed of pizza and a bottled drink. Dessert was a ice cream bar in the shape of Shamu.
After Dinner, we were led around the park on a guided tour. We went to some of the animal exhibits. We went to the shark encounter, where we went through the famed shark tunnel, and we went to the Rocky Point Reserve Cove, where we visited and learned about Sea Lions and Otters. We even saw a five day old Sea Lion pup. The last place we visited, and this is where we slept, was the Wild Arctic Exhibit where the polar bears, beluga whales, and the walruses are. We then went to where our surprise was. The Shamu Rocks show! It was a really good show. We didn’t get to sit in the Soak Zone, but we did get on camera. The stadium play We Will Rock you., so me and 5 other of my friends get up on top of the bleachers and start to dance to it with our hands above our head to try and make the cameras point towards us and this worked successfully.
After the Shamu show, we saw the Fireworks show, which was quite awesome. We then proceeded to go to where we slept, at the Wild Arctic Exhibit, where the Polar Bears, Beluga Whales, and Walruses are. The girls slept near the underwater viewing area, and they saw the Beluga Whales most of the time, and we (the boys) slept on the upper level where we slept near the Polar Bear viewing windows and the above water Beluga Whale viewing areas.
The next day, if we were good the previous day and night, we were allowed to roam the park without chaperones, as long as we were in groups of two or more, and as long as one of us has a cell phone. That day was mostly a blur to me but I do remember some hot points of the day. The first ride on the Kraken I remember pretty good, and the ride in the full back of the Rollercoaster train, riding on The Journey to Atlantis, and some others that I took pics of.
The trip went way to quickly, and I wish whole heartily that I could pay $3,000 for the same conditions and the same exact trip. I am now sad because I got to be with my friends at the finest, and I don’t usually get to see them out of school {Hint Hint Hint} because most of my friends live at least 30 minutes away, so the only time I get to see them is in school or at birthdays. I really don’t get to be with who they really are. 
UPDATE: Sorry that I had to take the pic out, I could be sued for it, as it had pics of more than just me in it (others were minors under 18) If you know me and would like a set of pictures from my trip, contact me tyler@tylerjd.com .
