Christmas Celebration 2018 at SeaWorld San Diego

Picture
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.
