Because DC closes so early, we made dinner reservations with our friends, the Mazeracs, at Raglan Road,
Kevin Dundon's Irish restaurant located at Downtown Disney. Raglan Road was having a big Irish fest that weekend, and we were excited to see the bands, dancers, and to have some awesome food. The wait was a little long, and we missed most of the entertainment, but we had a great time being with good friends.
Unfortunately, Danny was a zombie after swimming all day.
Megan tried to revive him, but I don't think blowing on someone's face is a valid CPR technique.
After a late night, we got a late start at Sea World the next morning.
When we arrived, we got almost immediate reservations at Sharks Underwater Grill, and after a quick ride (George and Zachary) on the Manta, we headed over to eat some seafood while watching sharks, grouper, rays, and other large fish swim over the Shark Encounter tube. It was awesome food, if not a little expensive, and Danny really enjoyed the whole experience. After a trip through the Shark Encounter,
we headed to the new Penguin ride where we stood in line for 30 minutes (of the total hour) before the heavens opened, and we escaped line to the store with 250 or so other people for whom hygiene was not a priority. After the downpour ended, we went to catch the dolphin show, but it was delayed from the storm. So after petting the stingrays,
visiting Turtle Trek,
and seeing the dolphins from the underwater viewing area, we were done. It was 3 or so, and the rain had made everything very steamy and hot. We dragged our dehydrated bodies to the front of the park, and made one last shopping stop before heading back to our hotel (Hilton Grand Vacations) across the street. We enjoyed the rest of the night relaxing in the pool. We even got to catch some real life soap opera action poolside. People are people, where ever you go. All in all, we had a great weekend, but after a quick stop for breakfast at Friendly's, we were ready to get home.
