Birthdacation Part 2

...As soon as the Believe show was over, Micah passed out. He did really well for staying up 2 hour passed his regular nap time to see Shamu.

While Micah napped, Tom and I strolled around the park checking out the cooler exhibits to help the little man sleep a little more soundly without sweating to death. First, we stopped at the dolphin feeding tank. We opted to just watch. We wanted to save the fun and excitment for when the little man was awake. Next, we found an air conditioned spot with perfectly placed benches and a view of sting rays. And, we showed up just in time to watch the last feeding of the day. Below is a scuba diver hand feeding those deadly things. By the way, she was speaking to the crowd through a microphone in her mask. I thought that was pretty cool.

Just shy of the end of the sting ray feeding Micah was wide awake and less than thrilled to still be in his stroller. We decided to call it a day and made our way back to the hotel to rest up before dinner.

The riverwalk was a short walk (2 blocks) from our hotel. We had dinner at this terrific little Mexican restaurant right on the riverwalk and enjoyed a nice evening stroll around the town.

San Antonio Children's Museum


Saturday morning we decided to visit the San Antonio Children's Museum. The museum was only a few blocks away from our hotel in the downtown area which made it a convenient activity to spend some quality time with Micah, but most importantly it was an activity in air conditioning.

After our visit to the museum, we went back to the hotel so Micah could get a good nap before we made our return visit to Sea World. Tom was a very generous husband and father and volunteered to stay with Micah while he napped so I could go lay out by the pool and relax for a while. Thanks, Tom.
