We're in San Antonio, taking the kids to Sea World.  Before we left this morning, I snuck out of the hotel for a run in the barrio.  It was ok, 8:51 pace and even that was labored.  I thought I was going to get lost at one point since I forgot what street I came from but then I saw the big Virgin Mary display in someone's lawn that I had passed earlier.  Hail Mary, full of grace!  This thing took up almost half the front yard, was enclosed in glass and then had bars around it, presumably so it wouldn't get vandalized.  That, along with the numerous fat guys sitting on their porch giving me the evil eye made the hot humid run go by a little quicker.

Sea World was fun too, the girls made it through 8 hours in the heat at the park with no huge tantrums.

8 hours with no tantrums!?! Wow! I am totally impressed! Are you sure they were not sedated? Family trips like that always start out fun for us but by the end of 8 hours I am ready to rip my hair out and put the kids to bed.

I LOVE SEA WORLD!!!! I have only been in San Diego, though! Glad you had fun and that the big fat guys were to slow to even attempt chasing you down.

So, do the trainers get in the water with the Shamus anymore?

Sounds like two great feats were accomplished!

Not sure which is more hazardous, running through the barrio or taking kids to Sea World in the heat. You are a brave man.

The kids had their whiny moments, believe me, but we were impressed with them overall (better than usual anyway). Kelli, now that you mention it, they didn't get into the water at all. I totally forgot about the parts where they usually jump off the whale and stuff. Wonder if it's ever going to go back to how it was?

From Kelli on Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 18:50:41 from 71.219.99.30

I KNOW I would not be getting in the water with them!

From SlowJoe on Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 21:42:50 from 184.79.24.255

Me neither but I bet the trainers are still bummed they lost the most fun part of their job.
