A Magical Day at Sea World

With Mother's Day, my birthday, and the start of chemo all coming at me at once, we decided to head to Sea World yesterday to celebrate. What I did not know is that the amazing Ashlei had arranged a couple of special surprises. While any day at Sea World is a special treat, my first surprise was a private meeting with a baby sea otter named Pumpkin. While I was surprised to learn that sea otters are not friendly creatures, and are in fact close relatives of the wolverine, it was interesting to see how similar they are in physical behaviors and inquisitiveness to puppies.

Surprise number two came as a visit to the
Humboldt Penguins. Now, I don't know about you, but I have always wanted to meet a penguin so imagine my shock and awe when not only did we get to meet a penguin, but I got to hold it on my lap and pet it while posing for pictures. This shot is me with Popcorn.

Thanks to Keith for all of your generosity. It was truly a day I will remember forever.
