~San Antonio~

We had an AWESOME weekend. We left Thursday afternoon and headed down south to San Antonio to visit our good friend Shamu. We stopped Thursday evening in our state's capitol, Austin. It is such a neat city. Very pretty, hilly, and green. The boys loved the little motel we stayed in, Ben got so excited he pooed on the floor.



Friday morning we met up with our good friends and were off to Sea World. When we got there we realized it was Shamu's birthday. What are the chances of being at Sea World on his actual b-day.

Then we saw the sign that said "1988-2008." A year long birthday, now tell me someone who wouldn't like that!!

We headed to the Shamu show first it was fabulous. Those killer whales are amazing. Logan was in awe, however, Ben was quite worried and kept saying "sharks."

Logan at the Shamu show, we are sitting in the splash zone.

We also feed and pet the dolphins, viewed the aquariums, splashed in the splash parks, rode the kiddy coasters, ate theme park food that was way over priced, swam in the water park, saw the seal/walrus show, and ended the night back at the "Shamu rocks Texas show." Let me tell you, Shamu definitely rocked Texas that night!!!

Don't worry folks, no crypto here!

The next day we....rode adult coasters(that were very, very scary right Heather), walked around in the heat burning off all the calories from the very healthy food we were eating at the park, then cooled off in the 4-D Pirate movie.

By late afternoon we were all beat down and tired and feeling a bit like this....

We decided to leave the crowds at Sea World and venture on back to our motel's pool were we cooled ourselves off. We then headed to Gringos for delicious Mexican Cuisine.

The final leg of our adventure was spent viewing some Texan history. We toured the Alamo. Do you remember the Alamo? Well, if you grew up in Texas and passed your Texas History class(that's right people, in Texas there is a class devoted solely to Texas and it's History-Vern this is just informative, I'm not bagging) you'd remember. It's really actually a neat little place. The mission has been standing since the 1600's, remarkable. Oh, I forgot to mention we met some Crockett's at our motel continental breakfast, direct descendants of 'the' Davy Crockett. Cool huh!

Again, it got a bit toasty so we made our way down to the River Walk.

It was quaint and cool. We watched the ferry boats go by and drank a yummy snow cone, thanks grandma!!

Once our core temperatures peaked we packed up and drove home. We had a great time, thanks C-dizzles, and fam for joining us on our trip. We can't wait for our next adventure!!
