Up at the crack of dawn again, we arrived at Sea World as giddy as two kids on Christmas morning. We sprung from our car "to see what was the matter" (reference to Up on the Rooftop there). Armed with coffee (provided by the race event company - smart, smart, company!), we spent our "warm-up" time taking pictures and checking out the Reindeer's, Santa's, and Elves (aka runners dressed in nutty costumes). That's when we realized we needed to get with the program and accessorize better at future races!
After a fun race, where we saw dolphins, sting rays and no Shamu (he was still in hair and makeup), we headed to the parking lot, where the fun began. We could not remember where we parked! In our excitement to be at Sea World, neither of us looked at the parking sign. Faced with 5,000 racers and their autos and people arriving to the amusement park, we started to panic slightly. That was until we saw the Sea World employee with the golf cart! He could drive us around and help us find our car (aka Mom's car)! As we approached, a woman was having a very animated conversation with him regarding the traffic jam in the parking lot. Sea World had not done a great job directing racers out the lot, and there was gridlock! After a lot of back and forth, she screamed "COME ON SEA WORLD!!!!" and stormed away. That's when Wendy and I fell over laughing and decided the golf cart man had bigger fish to fry then helping us find our car.
After some deductive reasoning, we parked straight, not crooked, against a chain, we found our car and we were off to Starbuck's all the while yelling "COME ON SEA WORLD!"
