SeaWorld at Christmas

6 Comments / Places to see /

Orlando, Florida

We visited SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida a few years back at Christmas time. Actually, the tickets were a gift from my son and daughter-in-law. It was a beautiful day, temps in the upper 70’s. Being an animal lover, I had always wanted to go to SeaWorld. We arrived early to avoid the heavy crowds(Christmas is a busy time of year in Orlando FL). They have a huge parking lot but we were lucky to be pretty close to the entrance. The Park was decorated for Christmas with a huge Christmas tree at the entrance, decorated Christmas trees throughout the park, and the “sea of trees”, which are lighted trees floating on the lake.

The “Frozen Tundra” – Historic Lambeau Field

The Atrium

One highlight of our recent trip was our Tour of Historic Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We have attended 3 football games there but getting a “behind the scenes” tour was great! Lambeau Field is the oldest continually operated NFL stadium. It first opened in 1957 as “City Stadium”. In 1965 it was renamed for Packers founder and long-time coach, Curly Lambeau. In 2007, the stadium was voted #1 in game-day atmosphere and fan experience by Sports Illustrated’s online poll. We met our tour guide in the Atrium at Lambeau Field. The Atrium is open every day. This is what you will find in the Atrium.

Great Bend Park and the Haw River Trail

Last year, on Labor Day, we decided to go on an Adventure! We didn’t want to go far from home so we took a drive close to our neighborhood. We drove about a mile or two just outside of our neighborhood and we came upon a river, the Haw River. We have driven by this river many times before but never gave it much thought. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I had always wondered, “Is there a park or hiking trail by this river”?, but I had never explored that thought. Today, we decided to check it out!

We parked our car in a lot close to an abandoned textile mill and found the river trail!
