San Antonio Vacation

We took a family vacation over this last weekend. San Antonio proved to be quite fun! On the way down, we stopped at the Natural Cavern Museum. This was very interesting and the kids had a good time (even though they had no clue it was educational) even through the steep hills of hiking and climbing stairs. That night we walked the Riverwalk and stalked the Dallas Cowboy players. Jason, Breanne and I also made a quick stop to Coyote Ugly - who can pass up a chance to have drink in that bar? Jason had a beer and Breanne and I shared a Wusskey.... yum-o! The next morning we were at Sea World bright and early. I had never been and from an adult's perspective it's amazing. The kids had such a good time and considering the amount of walking we did from sun-up to sun-down and factoring in the heat, they did exceptionally well. The next day we went back to Sea World for half the day, then went on a Riverwalk Cruise and dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. This was fun as well. The next morning we visited The Alamo and the Mexican Market, ate at Mi Tierra and headed home. Because I didn't get to blog about our trip on a daily basis (as I had planned) here are a few eventful things from our trip:
  • Colton put gum in my hair. We haven't figured out why exactly. Our best guess is he was done with it?!
  • I fell climbing a steep rocky hill. Did you know flip flops aren't good for hiking?
  • Cameron has four photos with Dallas Cowboy players.
  • We witnessed God's hands wrapped around us as we saw a car on the highway spin out of control. It had to be within 10 feet of us. Jason had some great defensive driving and somehow steered us away from hitting that car head-on.
  • Cameron is allergic to hotel soap.
  • We did not make one trip to any tourist attraction without getting lost. We officially had to put Delilah (Breanne's GPS) in timeout.
  • Mom stood on a vent on the sidewalk and flashed the city of San Antonio.
  • Several members of our family committed a felony touching those rocks at the Natural Cavern Museum. I was not one of them =)
  • Cameron and Jason figured out how fun it is to prank call random hotel guests.
  • Courtnie hosted a dance party for us in her room. She even made tickets for her party guests.
  • And note to self: bring Spray n Wash every time you leave the house. I sure could have used a bottle (or two) while away!
