SeaWorld Away Mission
April 9, 2005 San Diego, CA

Our Aquarium of the Pacific away mission was deep sixed by a car race held in the streets of Long Beach, but with quick thinking and a flurry of phone calls, we pulled off a very successful away mission to SeaWorld instead!


 

We arrived in two different groups.  Group 1 as we enter the park!
