SeaWorld Summer in San Diego



This summer at SeaWorld, along with Shamu's debut of
One Ocean comes another very special story.

 “Turtle: The Incredible Journey.”


Turtle: The Incredible Journey - Trailer from Save Our Seas Foundation on Vimeo.
The film is directed by National Geographic Explorer’s Nick Stringer and narrated by Academy Award nominee Miranda Richardson. Stringer’s documentary team follows the loggerhead turtle on an adventure of more than 9,000 miles guided only by instinct. The crew spent two years following loggerhead turtles on their trips across the ocean, and have captured on film the remarkable life cycle of a beautiful creature that struggles to survive in an increasingly unforgiving environment.

The film does what our parks have been doing for more than five decades: inspire, enrich and entertain. Helping bring this film and its powerful message of the fragility and beauty of our oceans to the public is what SeaWorld is and what we have always been about.
The film will be released to theaters in both standard theatrical formats as well as 3D in selected locations starting June 24. This is the the same week as the opening of SeaWorld San Diego’s Turtle Reef, a new attraction that showcases this extraordinary species in a 300,000-gallon aquarium with a massive underwater viewing gallery.


Last time my family and I were at SeaWorld, we were so thankful to be treated to a SeaWorld private tour which included feeding turtles (from a distance) it was really neat to learn about them.

What's New With Shamu?




Every year my family and I
kick off the beginning of summer
with a trip to SeaWorld in San Diego, CA. Enjoying the weekend or even a full day spent with Shamu seems like the right way to start our family summer fun.


Check out some photos of our family trips to Sea World here and here 





What's new with Shamu?

One Ocean


SeaWorld has a brand new show called One Ocean. It sounds to me like it's got an educational/documentary feel to it. One Ocean has already opened at SeaWorld in Florida, it is opening in California this month and coming in June to Texas. 

I can't wait to sea it!

Valentine Moose Munch

MMMMMM.....

Moose Munch from Harry & David is one of my favorite treats. 
Did you know there are several varieties to try?
YUM!
With Valentines Day right around the corner,
they have one flavor cleverly named Cupid's Crunch 
and packaged it in super cute "Valentine-Gram" bags! 



I'm a sucker for seasonal themed goodies so this is right up my alley. I also try to be unique in my Valentine gift giving. I mean, how much chocolate can one teacher eat really?! Don't get me wrong, I could eat my weight in chocolate almost daily but I think it's a little more thoughtful to give something other than chocolate on this holiday.
(unless you are my husband in which case, bringing me chocolate on Valentines Day is requirement of being my husband)


Show the special people in your life some sweetness by giving them Moose Munch Cupid's Crunch by Harry & David. Here are my other favorites for Valentines Gift Giving :


(everyone loves cookies and these are adorable)


(so much variety, great for sharing)


The ULTIMATE Valentine's Day Gift:
(hey fellas, this is romantic!)



Harry & David are easily found online or find a store near you
