Last weekend we headed down to San Diego to check out Christmas Celebration at SeaWorld.

​We hadn't been to SeaWorld since Ocean Explorer opened last year and were very excited to check out not only Christmas Celebration but all of the other new stuff at the park.

​The trip down had a dual meeting, as I was meeting my half sister for the first time ever. Not going to get into too many details here, but will say that we totally hit it off, and I rode a coaster with my sister (something I never thought I'd say). So yay!!! =) ​

​Welcome to SeaWorld!!

Manta is easily one of the best coasters in CA. So deceiving to look at. So fun to ride.

Unfortunately the times didn't work out for us to see this. Wish they'd just had continuous shows throughout the day.

This was my view for most of the show. 

Pro Tip: If you're going to lean forward and hold your phone up and block everybody behind you, at least hold your phone the right way.
