Sea World

Monday, we went over to Sea World with Sarah and Eric. There is a new roller coaster there called "Manta" which is what's called a flying coaster. Eric and I are roller coaster fans, but I will say I'm not sure I will ride this one again. You enter the coaster and sit down and then you are lowered to a chest down position so when the coaster is moving, you are in a "flying position." I will say this, it was a very different experience. Dan and Sarah were smart - they stayed on the ground!!
Eric and I were in the front car with no one else in our row.

When you get off the ride, it takes a minute or so to reorient your body to a vertical position. As I said above, "been there, done that, not sure I want to do it again." The best way I can describe the ride is doing barrel rolls in a jet fighter plane (I've never been in a jet fighter, but it would seem this is what it might feel like).

After this ride, we were ready for a break from the park, so we headed over to Lake Buena Vista to Giordano's where we enjoyed our norm - a stuffed cheese and sausage pizza. After eating, we headed back to the park for the evening shows and fireworks. Sea World is open until 10 PM right now and have some special features during the eveing hours. We left the park about 10:30, getting us home about 12:30. It was a nice day and I was actually able to relax and have a few hours where I wasn't thinking about Aunti Vi.

Bible study finished tonight. It was a good study (Daniel), but it will be good to have 3 weeks "off." We're starting "Knowing God by Name" July 9th. It's a relatively short study - only 7 weeks. The ladies were cute tonight - they do not want to take 3 weeks off!!!

We leave for Tennessee and points north tomorrow. With the stress of the last 3 weeks, it will be good to get away!
