Blogging by the Pool

This episode is brought to you from the poolside at the Solana Resort. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it.

Yesterday was a rest/pool/shopping day. Martin, Mary & Ronan went shopping while the others stayed at home. The morning was spent at the resort pool (see photo) but it rained in the afternoon. Sharon arrived at lunchtime with meals-on-wheels from McDonalds.

Ronan bought a very nice new video camera, despite having a credit card that was 6 years out of date. It was all that I could do to stop Mary buying another one. Mary & I managed to track down some chocolate Easter bunnies which we doled out this evening.

We spent the evening vegging indoors due to the weather. The women went out for dinner as the rest of us had been fed and had no notion of going out. Sharon left later after a lovely evening was had by all.

Today was spent at Sea World. This was very good - kind of a mixture of Zoo, Animal Shows and Rides. We only managed to do some of the attractions - we will definitely have to make use of our second day. The highlight (for the adults anyway) was the Shamu show - killer whales showing off. See video for a taster.

Despite it being a Sunday, it didn't seem too busy and we weren't waiting too long for anything. We left about 5:30 so we could get home for a bit of time in the warm resort pool. The only thing keeping me out of the water is this blog so I'm going to wrap it up pretty quick.

We have no plans yet for tomorrow. I suggested a water park and that idea seemed to go down well. It'll probably be Blizzard Beach as we haven't done that yet, though I'd suggest Typhoon Lagoon again as the kids really loved it, despite not having seen very much of it.
