The Magic Time Machine - A Dining Experience

So after our first night at SeaWorld, we returned to the hotel for a nap...all of us napped. Got up around 4:30 and made a quick call to the restaurant, making a reservation. I just didn't want to take any chances on having to wait for a table...even so early. We got there around 5:30 and were greeted by Mario (as in Mario Brother's video game). He gave the girls balloons (pink of course) and signed them with big happy faces. Then a go-go dancer took us to our table...in a old time walk-in refrigerator/freezer. HA!

The girls loved the bench seat with windows and curtains. They spent most of our dinner bouncing around and looking out at passersby. They hardly ate a thing...they were having way too much fun. And of course, everyone who walked by had to stop to talk to the cute girls in the cooler. We had Austin Powers for a waiter, with Cleopatra as our assistant waiter. Sadly, as you might have guessed, these characters were completely lost on the girls. Next time we go...we will request a princess...I just wasn't thinking.

During our dinner of chicken fingers for the kids and Prime Rib for the adults, the girls got to see other characters including: the most fantastic Capt. Jack Sparrow, Dorothy (Abby's fave), Tinkerbell, Snow White, Ariel and more. We got to retrieve our salad from the bar made from an old car. And our bill was brought to us in a smoking volcano made of styrofoam cups and chocolate syrup. Even Abigail's drink was bubbly and fun. Oh, and I almost forgot...in usual form for the Magic Time Machine...when I ordered my drink, a coke and water, I apparently said it too quickly...and the result that was served to me was a Coke in one glass sitting IN a larger glass of water. Apparently, he "thought" I said coke in water. :) I should have known better.... But it's ok, the girls thought it was so funny, we all passed around the water for sips (Katherine is pictured above doing just that).

All in all, it was a great end to a great day! Next installment, Witte Museum.

We all had a great time! It's just a shame there's not one in Houston.
