San Antonio Fun!

This last weekend we went on a mini-vacation to San Antonio with our GREAT friends Tracy and Eric. My bday was last wkend so it was partly for my bday trip (and Eric's from back in May). We had SO much fun! Friday we started the drive early at 8am (which I cant believe we actually hit the road by 8:15) and stopped at a wildlife park on the way down there! It definately wasnt what I thought, it was kinda lame actually! The burgers and fries we ate at the restaraunt were quite yummy so that made the stop all worth while, ha! The only animal we even ended up getting to feed were the zebras and we could have fed the ostrich but we were kinda scared of it- ha!



We made it into our hotel in San Antonio around 330pm, changed, and headed out to the riverwalk. Our hotel was brand new and right on the riverwalk and was SUPER nice.. the Grand Hyatt in case anyone is heading to San Anton. It was about 100 degrees so it was really really hot but it was nice walking around and seeing everything. We went to the Alamo and I had a really yummy sno cone which was another highlight of my day (ha!). We hung out at Dick's for a couple drinks (virgin Pina Colada for me!) and then had dinner right along the riverwalk.. it was SO nice! Please excuse my messy and no makeup look.. the heat wiped my makeup off after being outside for oh, about 1 minute!



Sat morning we woke up early again and headed to SEA WORLD! OMG, 103 degrees outside! It was definately HOT and we had a TON of walking to do.. but let me tell ya, I was a TROOPER!! We headed to ALL the shows and just made sure to stay in the shaded areas and drank water all day long, to stay hydrated. At the end of the day my feet hurt a little, but after a great shower at the hotel and a little nap, I felt GREAT! All 6 hours at Sea World was WELL worth it!! We had a BLAST! We stayed at a hotel right by Sea World that night.. it was a Comfort Inn but was also brand new and was really nice.. had a great breakfast in the morning too for those of you looking for a cheap, fun vacation. We ended the night with some YUMMY food at TGI Fridays, which I have missed since they shut them down around where I live :o( Notice how my days revolve around food?! hahaha!

These were about the only pics we got from that day. It was WAY too hot and sticky to take many pics.. and yes, our husbands are holding hands!! They thought they were hilarious!!!! You should have seen the looks they were getting !

Sunday we got up and headed home. We stopped along the way at a snake farm so Eric could get a t-shirt (if you know him, you know this is SO him!), then we stopped off at the outlet mall in Round Rock (which I had WAY too much fun in the Coach store!!!), and then met our GREAT friends who live in Austin for lunch at my ALL-TIME fav Chuy's. Their little one is SO adorable!! He just turned one!

Kam & Uncle Chadd!! What a GREAT ending to a GREAT vacation!!! Great times w/ the Gacy's as always!! I cant wait for our next trip together.. they are our FAVORITE vacation partners!! Next time we'll prob have a little one w/ us ! :D :D
