I really thought Jaida would have a blast at Seaworld. I think she would have had a lot more fun if it hadn't been for all the rude adults that kept crowding her out of the way around the exhibits, stepping on her feet and generally attempting to trample her. She did enjoy watching the dolphins and got the biggest kick out of feeding the Sea Lions some really smelly fish. She did love her trip to Aquatica and couldn't get enough of all the water rides.

Generally though she really enjoyed getting to explore the historic and more natural areas of Anastasia Island and St. Augustine. The fort (Castillo de San Marcos) was one of her favorites ... so many chambers and neat areas to go crawl around in.

I think she had a good time on the trip. AND ... she handled the 15 hour car ride (straight through) like a champ .... not so much for her brother.
