San Antonio

We were a little sad that we didn't get to make it out to Utah this summer so we decided we needed a little family vacation. We have lived in Texas for the past 8 years and have never made it down to San Antonio. We spent a few days there checking out the Alamo, Riverwalk, Market Square, the Temple and of course Sea World. We had a blast! The first couple of days were super hot - over 100 degrees! Tropical Storm Eduardo decided to roll through and it actually cooled things off a bit for us. We caught all of the fun shows on this first rainy day and the next day went for the rides and the water park. I was so happy to find out that I have children after my own heart - they love rides- big rides!!! Seth loved the roller coasters and Emma was quite bummed that she wasn't quite tall enough to ride the big stuff just yet. Seth rode the coasters over & over taking mom or dad with him. Emma loved the Journey to Atlantis (major log ride) and little Erin was even big enough for a few of the rides. Here are a VERY few pics from our adventure because Shamu got my camera wet and it didn't work at all the 2nd day. It still isn't the same - hopefully a new battery might help.

The kids loved feeding the dolphins! $5 for a tray of fish brings them right up to you




Shamu right before my camera went dead! Seth & Ryan sat right down front in Splash Zone city and I took the girls up a little higher and we ended up getting more wet than they did!

I'm glad you had fun. That stinks about your camera. Hopefully it's not permanent.

That looks so much fun. We need to all get together sometime and not just for a funeral or a wedding. JK

What a fun trip! I am glad that you could get out and spend some quality time with your family. We missed a family vacation this year... maybe next year :) Hope your camera starts working again, we love seeing the pictures.
