Sea World one last time...


No more Sea World posts...... Did I hear someone say yeah? I gotta end it with my daughter and her two best friends -- Pen and Guin. Aren't they all lovely posers. Of course since we've had the Winter woes it was great to put those flip flops on and let those feet get out in the air! As always my daughter is on the look out for a stump (or rock) to take a pose. Who could ask for a better back ground. See more stump or rock sitting by clicking HERE.

The Stars of Sea World -- My World Tuesday

A trip to Sea World wouldn't be complete without Shamu. He was in perfect form this day.
We arrived at the Pacific Point Reserve just at feeding time.
The California Sea lions and harbor seals were pretty fiesty. I could've pulled up a seat and enjoyed their actions all afternoon. My trips to San Diego and San Francisco sealed the deal for me in being mesmermized by these slick creatures.
At the dolphin nursery it was play time. I think they were as curious about us humans as we were about them.

Camillo!

Camillo Villegas is whom we were hoping would win the Buick Open. We snapped this pic at the PGA Merchandise show and were happy that it was more than lifesize! He is the player that's chosen on XBox while playing Tiger Woods 2009. Nick Watney was the winner for the day and it was well deserved. Of course we also like to cheer on the local favorite Jim Furyk. I remember meeting Jim as a 12 year old washing his Dad's truck in the driveway. His Dad was quite the character and was so much more vocal than Jim but he's done a great job helping Jim get to where he is today every step of the way. It shows there's always family support behind every great story.

Sea World adventures

My daughter was the princess of the week deciding which parks to go to in Orlando, FL. Her top pic was Sea World. We had a really great time seeing all of the different animals and even had 2 day passes. I personally liked the stingrays. On a cruise several years ago I had the opportunity to swim with stingrays in the Grand Cayman. Never would I have guessed that it would be something I loved. We were out in the middle of the ocean with no land in site on a sandbar and all the stingrays swam in. Snorkeling with them is still a fond memory. They of course wanted us to feed them. The sea turtles were great at Sea World also. The alligators and crocodiles.....well lets just say I respect them and Steve Irwin you were one brave soul!

Odd Animal Award

From the deep and beyond. Can anyone take a guess? It's a Leafy Sea Dragon at Sea World. We thought it may be a kind of shrimp or possibly sea horse but we were wrong. It can camouflage itself with it's seaweed like nodes. Intriguing.

Fat Boys and Comfort

I'm bringing this picture today to offer your mind a little warmth from the long winter. This little palm has a long way to grow but from my eyes it offered the right amount of comfort and warmth to my day.
Food always brings comfort and my family and I highly recommend Fat Boys in Kissimmee, Florida. Above is a small wall of past visitors to the restrauant and I'm sure if you offer your mug it'll be there for the next generation. I regret not having a picture from the outside because of user error (me) and losing a days worth of pics which I won't go into here. Click HERE for a more in depth review of FatBoys that offers the finest southern sweet tea along with the best BBQ pork, beef, chicken, turkey, and ribs. Don't forget to taste the beans! I'll guaratee if you're a BBQ connoisseur you'll return here again and again just like us. For the past 27 years this is our first stop for lunch or dinner upon entering central Florida. I hope this suggestion isn't wasted!

PGA Merchandise Show--That's my world Tuesday.

2009 PGA Merchandise Show:
Anything remotely connected to the game of golf could be found at the annual PGA merchandise show. The Loud Mouth Golf venue was one of my favorite. I'm eyeing up the pair of pants on the far right for Father's Day this year.
Did someone say it was going to rain? If you ever used a golf umbrella you know why they are the ultimate devise to keep you dry.
Golf club covers by the dozens and dozens and dozens...... You name the character, team, color, state, occassion and they'll help you find the right cover.
Stylish hats. Ladies keep that delicate skin covered on those sunny days on the course and while you're at it look good too!
Indoor driving range. Would anyone like to volunteer to go out there and gather all those golf balls up?
Everyone is infatuated with their pets lately. Have you considered having your very own golf bag cover made to resemble your cherished fuzzy pet?
Our favorite golf cart and to top it off it was the best color - Yellow!!! This one can be driven on the road and has optional full or half doors. Don't you love imagination at work.


My husband is a golf pro at a local course and when he attends this show we attempt to tag along. It's held at the Orlando Convention Center on International Dr. in Orlando, Florida. The building is huge. We walked all day but still didn't see everything. We were able to enjoy the warm Florida sunshine and from what we were told we were pretty lucky because it's been cold there lately. Spring is only six weeks away according to Punkatawny Phil the groundhog here in Pennsylvania. That's right it's Grounhog day~~! Check it out by clicking on HERE!

Sea World



Heeelllooo! Doesn't it appear that this is what the fish is saying? Today my daughter and I are off to Sea World. Of course Shamu is always quite the delight but the manatees and penguins get top spots for us. Hopefully we'll be storing up on some mega doses of vitamin D while enjoying the aquatic adventure.
