We just got back from an amazing family vacation to San Antonio. Luke had been hearing about this trip for months, and was so excited to see Shamu, the Alamo, and float in the lazy river. We went with my side of the family, and Tula and Pop were so generous to treat us all! We had a fun-filled, action-packed 4 days, and it couldn't have been better!
We all left super early Wednesday morning to beat the Dallas traffic, and ended up getting into San Antonio around lunch time. We stopped at "The Guenther House" for lunch, which is a neat old house, and was super yummy. Here are some cuties after our great meal.
Next, we checked into the hotel, and Audrey decided she wanted to go "nigh nigh" right on the window sill. Yikes!
After unpacking at our Riverwalk hotel, we ventured down to the Riverwalk and hopped on one of the boats. The kids loved it! Audrey always has a very serious face on whenever anything is new for her, but I could tell she was enjoying herself.
After exploring the Riverwalk, we headed up to the street to see The Alamo. Luke was very into this! In fact, Brian, Luke and Will stayed extra long, and Luke asked about 1,000,000 questions, which his daddy was very patient in answering. :)
They have their serious "soldier faces" on.
After resting a bit, we headed back out for dinner at one of our favorite places, "Mi Tierra". We took a trolley to get there, and once again, the kids loved it.
Mi Tierra is this over the top Mexican restaurant that has Mariachi Bands and crazy décor. The kids were wide eyed when the band came to play for our table.
On day 2, we went exploring a bit more, before heading to our main destination, The Hill Country Hyatt. Tula wanted to take the kids to the Texas Cultural Museum, and we discovered once again, that Luke was way into it. He had about 1,000,000 more questions, and just couldn't get enough. We may have a little history buff on our hands.
Here is Luke on our way to the museum.
A school was there, and Luke jumped right in to listen to their presentation.
Ride 'em Cowboy!
Playing with cotton.
Day 3 was our big Sea World day. Luke was sooooo excited, and it did not disappoint!
The little kids were pretty excited as well!
The first show we saw was the sea lion and walrus show. Please note Audrey with the serious face again. :)
After the show we were able to go in the back to the sea lion tank and watch people feed them. So cool!
Two lucky kids hitching some rides.
Shamu was up next, and Audrey squealed with joy every time one of them jumped.
The two pregnant "whales" next to the whale.
Sea World was wonderful, but exhausting, so Day 4 was spent relaxing at the hotel. We loved this hotel! So kid friendly. They even had smores every night!
Super Luke!
The hotel recently added a wave machine, and the guys just could not pass this up. I love all the wipe out shots!
Luke and Audrey were little fish, and could not get enough of the water. Audrey got to show off her new swimming skills.
Daddy had to remind her many times to wait her turn, and keep her toes on the side.
Booty shot! :)
To end the trip, we had a wonderful dinner at the hotel. It was one of the best buffets I had ever had! We took some family pics before eating.
Oh Memaw! :)
As you can tell, Luke and Audrey enjoyed the "all you can eat"
This trip was so much fun, and we cant thank Tula and Pop enough for taking us. It definitely wore these two out! Success!
