View from my hotel room balcony! The boat you see on the other side of the bay is the "Bahia Belle," which took us on our formal dinner cruise one night.
Room with a view...
Room with a view... the other side.
This is after I walked all the way around the bay. You can see the "Bahia Belle" from the opposite side here.
"Giant Dipper" roller coaster at Belmont Park, just a few blocks from my hotel.
Oh hell yeah I rode it.
I stupidly took this picture before hurtling down the top of the roller coaster. My phone somehow managed to survive this.
You can pay to surf some fake waves at the Wave House. Pretty cool!
Some guys even knew what they were doing. I was amazed at first, but then I realized they were from San Diego...
A liberty minded individual lives in a typical beach house on Ocean Front Walk.
My walking Target trek... all 3.7 miles of it.
These fellers live right at the Bahia Resort!
Now I'm at Sea World, taking pics of the rather large turtles.
On my way up, up, up the sky lift.
Top of the sky lift!
That barricade in the water keeps the silly Sea World fishes inside the park. Or maybe it keeps out pirates, I dunno.
Ostrich impression.
All these damn things do is eat and poop. This whole area smelled like the guy behind me on the flight back from SD to ATL. Yes, it was that bad.
The ducks and the flamingos have learned to leave in peace. Why can't we?
Feeding time for the manatees.
Slightly better manatee pic here.
Around this time, my camera phone started doing weird things.
"HAVE YOU SEEN TIMMY?"
Sea lions are pretty loud!
Sea World even has a water ride / roller coaster thing! I rode this also, but didn't take any dangerous pics. I've learned my 'water does not play nice with phone' lesson already.
Behold, the lost city of Atlantis. I found it. In San Diego.
Penguins!
They're actually slimy things. Penguins molt, too. FYI.
Honest to God Budweiser Clydesdale here. I think his name is D.J.
Mr. Octopus got rowdy right as I was taking his pic.
Shamu!
