SpongeBob SubPants Adventure

The Pyramids at Moody Gardens

Moody Gardens in Galveston, TX, will be debuting the SpongeBob SubPants Adventure on Saturday, May 23. I am one of the lucky bloggers that have been invited to go and check out the attraction with our families before the opening! I, and my family, are super excited. Keep reading to find out how you can get $5 off the price of a Moody Gardens One-Day Value Pass!

The event corresponds with the vacation that my husband had decided to take in May, so we made the decision to let our daughter miss a couple of days of school so we could all go have some fun together as a family. With my son moving away for college, this could be our last chance for some family fun and togetherness. What better way to spend time together then to explore Moody Gardens!

What is the SpongeBob SubPants Adventure? Well, the SpongeBob SubPants Adventure is a one-of-a-kind interactive experience that allows guests to go on a submarine voyage to explore the world of Bikini Bottom with the help of their captain, Patrick Star. Visitors are able to choose their path through the wild and silly deep-sea adventure and have real-time conversations with Patrick. The attraction takes visitors from digital to real time through exciting 4D sensory elements bringing the adventure to life through scents, like the smell the sunscreen, bubbles they pop above their heads and bouncing beach balls.

This attraction takes excitement to new depths in a non-stop whirlwind of surprises with fun for the whole family to enjoy only at Moody Gardens. Admission is $18.95 for adults and $16.95 for seniors and children. It is also included in a Moody Gardens Value Pass.

Moody Gardens has something for everyone to enjoy. After my daughter and I experience SpongeBob SubPants, we plan to explore more of wonderful attractions offered at Moody Gardens. The Rainforest Pyramid, Aquarium Pyramid, Discovery Museum, MG 3D Theater, 4D Special FX Theater, Colonel Paddlewheel Boat, Palm Beach, Sky Trail® Explorer Ropes Course, Moody Gardens Zip Line, and even a Moody Gardens Golf Course are all waiting to be enjoyed. We will even get to stay in the Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center, which will be a new experience for my children. Normally we don't stay at hotels, so this is exciting for them both. They mostly want to go swimming in the hotel's gorgeous pool.

Doesn't that all sound super fun and exciting?! We think so. I only get to take one person with me to the actual attraction, so we decided my daughter will go with me, while my husband and son explore some of the other attractions until we are done. Serenity and I will be posting our thoughts and pictures on twitter, instagram, and facebook while we are experiencing all the fun. After I get back home from Galveston I will be posting pictures and a review on the blog to let you all know just how much fun we had.

One thing you might not know about me is that I love games. I love how they look, I love how they sound, and I love playing them for hours on end. A great story, some fun characters, and a lot of either hack and slash action or puzzle solving and I am hooked. I play on my laptop, on my tablet, on my phone, and on various consoles throughout the house. I married a man that loves to play games and I have two children that love gaming as well. My son is actually going to school to become a game designer. Needless to say, a laptop that will perform well for gaming is a must in our household.

Along with movies and books, games are a great way to just relax and escape from reality for awhile. I spend countless hours streaming movies, playing games, or just reading ebooks. I have experienced too many laptops and PCs in my life that were just not up to the job, causing major lagging, poor graphics, or just unable to run the games at all. It is frustrating, to say the least. So I am excited to see a new laptop come out that looks to be perfect for gaming, as well as my other favorite activities.

With the new HP Envy TouchSmart 15.6" touch screen laptop, you can easily enjoy all three of my favorite pastimes. With the extreme performance of AMD's most powerful mobile processor delivering the processing power of 10 compute cores (4 CPU + 6 GPU), you will get an exceptional experience with award winning graphics. Then you will be effortlessly streaming, playing, skyping, or whatever else you want to do.

Multitasking is a breeze with the Quick AMD FX series processor in this laptop. Get your project done while streaming the latest episode of your favorite show. Plan your weekly shopping trip while streaming music or watching some YouTube videos. Play a MMORPG while Skyping your best friend. There are many fun ways to multitask throughout the day. What's your favorite way to multitask? Feel free to answer in the comment section below!
