Oceanography Club Feb. 22-24

The 5th grade teachers have an Oceanography Club that meets every other Friday and we rotate teaching lessons. The end activity is a trip to Sea World. On Friday the 22nd we loaded two charter buses at 10:00PM and headed to California. I was worried about how I would feel and that I would need to take constant trips to the bus bathroom. I slept pretty well on the bus and my bladder survived. The kids loaded two boats to go whale watching at 5:00AM. I stayed on the bus and slept for a few more hours. The kids had fun and saw several dolphins in the water. They also got to pull up a huge net and see different sea animals up close. (Don't worry the animals are put back into the water and are not harmed!) When they came back we ate breakfast. Then headed to Sea World for a day of fun. This is my fourth trip with the club and I still had fun at Sea World. The next day we went to Scripps Aquarium. It was a long weekend, but everyone had a great time!!

Sorry I didn't see this til now, but that is so cool you've done lots of these. I am actually one of the instructors for these kinds of trips (Project Exploration) Too bad I've never gone with YOUR groups, but it sure is fun to do! I've been to Sea World so much it's almost like a 2nd home. Very cool though, each time!
