We promised the kids before Ian deployed that we would take them to Sea World during R&R. We thought that would be simple and that we could do it sometime next week. Well, we were wrong. Apparently, they are closed during the week and are only open from noon-6pm on the weekends. So, we had to readjust everything and go today. It was literally the only weekend we could do it.
We didn't get as much time in the park as we would have liked, but had a blast all the same. We met my best friend and her kids there and hung out together. Ian really seemed to enjoy himself with all the kids. The best part was before the Shamu show, they said thank you to all military and their families and asked them to stand. I loved watching Ian stand there with pride as I stood beside him and the whole area applauded for all the military members there. Then they put us on the big screen, which we all thought was cool. It brought tears to my eyes to see all those people standing with us that are either serving with us or have served before us, and having everyone else show their gratitude with a loud and extended applause. God Bless America!
