Mom Maven’s Thoughts
It has been over a year since we have been to SeaWorld and I’d especially love to do the meet and greet with Bindi Irwin. I have had the opportunity to meet both Jack Hanna and Julie Scardina at other events so Bindi is the one who most excites me.
Which weekend would you like to attend?
I am going on the Saturday for Bindi’s meet and greet! I can’t wait and hope to see you there! 🙂
Nicole, that is awesome!! Enjoy!!
