As some of you know, last year I was invited to a blogging event at SeaWorld, called the #wildside of SeaWorld. It was great fun, with a handful of amazing women. When I was invited, I had barely started my blog, and I had no clue what I was doing (not that I do now, but you get the point.) After that, there were so many things to learn, so many things to do, and I had so many things whirling about in my head. Good thing I had the support of my new #wildside hotties to give me the support and encouragement when I needed it the most.
This weekend I attended the Sea World #wildside blogger reunion and there were many more new hotties that were invited to join the group. The best part was that everyone was able to bring their families along, and seems like everyone had a great time. I know my family and I had a great time. Even with a teething, grumpy baby, we were able to have tons of fun, and make lasting memories.
The reason SeaWorld has won my heart is because while I was there, I realized they really want to and do accomplish creating a great experience of learning, sharing, caring and family fun experience. At least that’s what we experienced. My daughter was a bit cranky at times, but every time we were about to watch a show, she was no longer trying to wiggle about, and was mesmerized by the acrobats of the Azul show, and the majestic beauty of the whales at the Shamu show, and interested in all the new things she was able to see.
I know we will definitely be making the #wildside blogger trip every year from now on, and will be making more trips back to Sea World very soon. SeaWorld in Texas is pretty large, with tons to see and do that we didn’t even get to. I’m also looking forward to spending more time with the original #wildside hotties and the new hotties added to the group that SeaWorld has introduced me to, that has changed the path of my experience as a blogger.

So, you are the other Erica!!! I knew I heard someone saying my name, but not talking to me. haha
It was so fun to be there with all of you and I’m tickled to be one of the new #wildside ‘hotties!’
Lol, yeah, there were actually 3 Erica’s there! I kept doing the same thing, but it was just one of the moms talking to her kid
It was great meeting you, and glad you’re part of the group!
Just got back from vacation, but you are both awesome. It was great to see you again Erica and how big your baby has gotten. And it was a real pleasure to meet the new Erica as well. Wildside hotties rock!
