October 29 2016 Whataburger family picnic at SeaWorld

The last two years the family picnic was at Six Flags Fiesta.  They had used to go to Seaworld but after the bad press they switched.  This year we went to SeaWorld since Seaworld is really trying to redeem themselves.  Just that week they announced that they will no longer be breeding killer whales.  They are not getting rid of the ones that they have since they can't go into the wild now... they just won't breed any more.  The trainers still touch the killer whales - they just do not go in the water with them any more.  Basically most of what they used to do with the killer whales they now are trying to do with the Beluga whales.  The Seaworld here is miniature compared to the one in Florida but still has lots for a full day.  In Florida, Seaworld, Discovery Cove and Aquatica are all separate parks.  Here it is all one.  Where James and I spent a whole day at Discovery Cove in Florida to have a day with the trainer, you can pay for an hour or so here.  It just opened here this year.  If you had never been to Orlando then you would be impressed with the park here.  What you have to be impressed with is the food that they serve here for the 'Picnic'  We went to one area of Seaworld just for us.  It was just head office so only around 1,000 people.  I don't normally take pictures of food but had to this time.  It was a buffet so you could go back as many times as you want for ribs, brisket, chicken, buns and all the trimmings.
