Mothers Day Weekend Trip







The family took off Thursday for San Antonio. The trip started with a touch of home, although seeing whales in the heart of Texas was a little weird...

The kids loved seeing Shamu (prob. 20th generation Shamu), Maddi was in awe of the "big fish" as she said......Little guy loved the Happy Feet penguins....

Watching Shamu






Ole Shamu is having problems touching he ball, I remember when he would leap up and over it.

Exhausted



After Seaworld the kids were exhausted....We checked into the local Hotel for the night, where the kids had a blast, they slept in the same bed for the first time, sibling bonding, as the little guy made sure she was okay, but of course before bed time we had to have some fun.............


Off to the Alamo


It was a cool site, thinking this is where some of my KIN may have faught.........

River Walk




We took a tour of the river walk, it was a nice $20 ride. The whole time I was thinking of that movie with Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston, the bus guide guy, cracking jokes...funny.....

Relaxing







After the Alamo & River Walk, we checked into the La Cantera Hotel. This place was awesome. Pools everywhere for the kids, arcade room for the kids (I played a few games too), Golf course (Valero Open course), restaurants, SPA for mom....We had a blast, the kids now somewhat resemble me with their dark skin......I got to play golf, mom got a SPA treatment, kids had smores every night by the pool, the workers would make a fire and all the kids lined up for smores.....Maddi loved her chocolate chip pancakes.........Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there.......
