We're in San Antonio

A little recap...

We left Monday evening for our vacation to San Antonio. We decided to see how far we could go the first night while Tucker was sleeping. We made it to Austin before I had had enough and was ready to stop. We got a room for the night, before getting up early the next morning to head to the zoo. The weather was beautiful, and the zoo was loads of fun for all of us. Tucker especially liked the "ebras" (zebras) and the "monk, monks" (monkeys). After visiting the zoo, we got to check into our condo for the night.

On Wednesday, we headed back into San Antonio for Sea World. A cold front had come in during the night and it was sprinklink on and off, but we decided to go anyway. A little sidenote here... I have been strongly convicted lately about complaining, and that I need to strive to be happy in all situations. So we stopped at Target for some raingear and jackets and off we went. The happiness came in that a lot of people stayed away from Sea World on Wednesday because of the weather. Sure we were a little chilly, but the park was basically empty. We never waited in lines or fought crowds as we walked to the shows. Tuckers favorite things at Sea World were the penguin encounter as well as the dolphins. Another advantage to small crowds were we got to stand at the dolphin pool for quite a while. One dolphin loved Tucker. He would come right up to the wall and raise his head up out of the water and smile at Tucker. We got some great pictures.

On Thursday, we headed to the outlet malls in San Marcos. They took the entire day...enough said!

This morning we checked out of the condo and headed back to San Antonio. We are currently staying in a beautiful hotel right on the River Walk. We had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe and are headed out soon for a ride on the boats as well as dinner.

We'll check out of here in the morning before heading back to Oklahoma.

Pictures will have to wait until we get home!
