I'm thankful for SeaWorld!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I am very, very thankful for my wonderful family who has always supported me even when I do crazy things like quit my job and move to Florida, my amazing friends who are always there for me even though I am terrible at keeping in touch when long distance, and all of the other great things I have in my life like a loving boyfriend who does all of the Thanksgiving cooking for me. Devin and I wanted to volunteer at a soup kitchen since both of our families are far away but unfortunately they were already full on volunteers so we went to SeaWorld instead.

SeaWorld is amazing and is probably one of my new favorite places ever. We visited the dolphin nursery, pet dolphins, watched the Blue Horizons show, went to the Atlantis aquarium and then went on the ride, rode on the Kraken (which was probably the coolest ride I have ever been on...ever!), looked at the seals and sea lions, visited the penguins, went to another Show, walked past the arcade, and glimpsed the oyster divers, and ended the day with the Shamu show (my first time seeing a killer whale).

Despite the fact that it is just me and Devin for Thanksgiving he cooked (all from scratch), two pecan pies, a french silk pie, two walnut pie like things without a pie crust, vegetarian stuffing, mashed sweet potatoes, and delicious squash rolls. I was extremely tired when we got home and I couldn't even stay awake long enough for dinner to finish cooking so we had a Thanksgiving breakfast the next morning.
