My happy day at Sea World, Orlando

                   Yes It is my big day, a day I have enjoyed after 2 years of quarantine. A day at Sea World, Orlando is a wonderful trip and it is worth it. I enjoyed the every pace of it. But I was not able to see the fireworks at night due to my little S's sickness. Still it is a worthy trip and every penny spent on it pays for. I enjoyed the max. A little intro about Sea World, Orlando. It is a  theme park and a marine zoological park located in Orlando. The park hosted 4.59 million guests ranking 10th most visited park in the united states

                                             


     The park is divided into different seas/areas each one with the unique themed element. We  reached around 10 am due to my big B's surprise teams call. Our first ride was to the journey to the Atlantis. The ride host a boat ride and a steep slide, the boat ride was similar to the one in the Disney land  and the boat ride was really steep. Little S was really thrilled and she enjoyed a lot that she asked for another one.

                                         

    We then rushed to the Dolphin show. The trained Dolphins behaved really well. They greeted the guests, listened to the trainers and even spin around themselves in circles. It was nice to watch Every time they were rewarded with fishes. I felt really sorry for the poor little things that they are working 7 days  5 hours per day tirelessly without holidays. But my little S enjoyed it she even said that she will become a trainer when she grew old. 

                                                       

                                             

    We then walked around 9875 steps to reach the Orca show. It was similar to the Dolphin show, but the trainers didn't swim with the orca due to the accidental death of Dawn Brancheu  caused by the killer whales. The show was good. The whales obeyed the trainers and its behavior was carefully monitored and recorded. We had our lunch at the food court in Sea World. The smoked ribs were tasty but bit expensive.

                                              

                                             

                                             

     We moved further 5000 steps to reach the sesame world. Little S enjoyed all the ride Super Grover's box car derby, Elmo's choo choo train, Abby's flower tower, Cookie drop. Flamingo's water paddle was closed. We missed the  roller coaster rides like Manta, Mako as little S must be at least 53" to ride them. She never let us either. We finally ride the infinity falls. We never thought that we will get so wet. Little S was completely wet and she started shivering we have to rush back home as she was crying and very tired. As soon as we reached our home she slept so we didn't return back to the fireworks and laser show. The day was spent worthily and happily and I thank God for giving me a good trip.

A Day at Orlando

            Happy to share my dreamy day at Orlando. Did you know? Orlando than any other city in the United states has the record of highest visitors from all around the world with a record of 72 million visitors in 2017. There's much more to Orlando than rides and theme parks. In addition to a thriving downtown and a growing culinary scene , the city hosts top- notch musical and theatre entertainment, as well as big- league sports with pro soccer and basketball teams.

             Even the word Orland brings happiness inside me.  I love this place!! First we planned for a trip to the Disney land, but unfortunately the tickets were sold out. We had tickets only for Animal Kingdom and epcot but we were not interested in both so we made a trip to Sea World, Orlando 😍 ?In Day 1 of a trip after a tiresome journey we relaxed at our hotel. That evening we had visited The Wheel of the Icon park. Few information regarding this wheel. 

              The Wheel is a 6600 pound capsule to the top of a 400 - foot observation wheel in the heart of the world famous Florida attraction sounds like a heart pounding thrill to many. I have discovered the beautiful views in delightful climate controlled comfort  which lets me to relax and take in all in. And the best part is that you can make the top of the world moments last by relieving them with your riding companions. 

             Since the wheel is located in Florida, it was built extraordinarily strong. During a major storm  the Wheel is locked down and can withstand a category 5 hurricane. That's sustained wind speeds over 156 mph. The Wheel has 64,000 color-changing LEDs  that creates different light shows and displays throughout the year. It was a spectacular view.





     Once you have entered the trip you can play your own songs. Unfortunately I never stored any songs in my phone so my husband played his favorite songs like Sorgame endralum athu nammura pola varuma..... It was hilarious funny but still we enjoyed it in the ride. The temperature inside was precisely controlled warm and comfortable. Outside it was around 80 F very hot but the wheel has a perfectly balanced temperature. The ride was really awesome. It is always an iconic moment to remember and will stay fresh in my mind forever.

How I planned for my 1754 miles road trip!!!!

       It is the most wonderful time of the year ..... I love this song whenever I hear it. I love it too !! This time it is the most wonderful time of my life. My 1754 miles road trip, perfectly planned and executed.  Myself and my husband never planned for such a long trips before. Our trips are usually short for a day or so. We are basically couch potatoes😛 We had two reasons that was hindering us, first my husband really find it very difficult to find time for our trip. Secondly my little S who usually gets sick when we are at outdoors. I planned it precisely and executed it very well. I love to share my experiences and trips and tricks that might helpful  for other parents while executing road trip.  The trip took five days for us.

Day 1: We moved from Georgia to Orlando. The trip took us 6 hours. We reached Orlando exactly at 3:01pm (3:00 pm was the check in though). We took some rest and later that evening we explored the Wheel of the Icon park.

Day 2: We started our day early and we visited the Sea world, Orlando

Day 3: We moved from Orlando to Homestead, FL. Stayed overnight at an inn.

Day 4: We extended our trip to Key West , FL. We explored the beautiful city, enjoyed the beaches

Day 5: We enjoyed the airboat ride and retuned  home

            Each and every day was a new beginning and was a blissful experience. I felt thankful towards God that he has given me a perfect trip and a family to enjoy it. I wished to document my experiences so that I can enjoy reading it and it will never fade away from my memory. I will try to share my trips and tricks that might be helpful for the parents travelling with kids. Hope it will be useful for all.
