We are home from our San Antonio trip! We drove in late Saturday night after a full day at Sea World.
We had such an amazing time this year! The kids had a blast together and Keegan even slept perfectly until almost 8am every morning. Jeff and I agreed it was our favorite vacation yet. We picked Ava up early from school on Tuesday and arrived downtown around 5:00 at our beloved Emily Morgan hotel. The kids love the view of the horse carriages parked on the street.
They actually had more fun than you can imagine in our hotel! I could write an entire post on that alone. They were so giddy and playful and cracked us up constantly. I can remember how exciting hotels were when I was a kid too :-)
Our hotel is directly across from the Alamo so we walked around it for a while Tuesday night and Wednesday morning on our way to the river walk.
It was cool in the mornings but heated up pretty quickly in the early afternoon so we took a river boat ride early Wednesday morning. It felt so nice and we beat the crowd so we had it almost all to ourselves.
Lunch at Casa Rio....
We took the kids to Rainforest Cafe for dinner. It was our first time and I was so excited. While Ava loved it, Keegan did not! We sat directly across from the gorillas that came to life every fifteen minutes and lets just say Keegan was scared to death not a fan. He was so glad when we left!
We spent Thursday at the San Antonio Zoo. I'm partial to our DFW zoos but it was a great zoo with almost every kind of monkey. And the elephants were very close! We took a picnic and found a great place to sit and eat. The kids mostly enjoyed the cute little petting zoo. 
It was such a beautiful day of about 90 degrees. That was soon to change! We checked into our hotel near Sea World when we left the zoo and the forecast showed a slight cool front with no rain coming. But standing at the Sea World gate Friday morning at 10am it was 48 degrees and pouring! We hung out for an hour before getting rain passes for the next day and heading to our hotel to thaw out.
That night was my favorite part of our trip--Dinner out with our San Antonio family :-) We met Eric's fiancee Savanna for the first time and we are so excited to be back next month for their wedding!

Saturday morning we woke up to a beautiful morning and had a great day at Sea World! We saw four great shows and the kids loved the Sesame Street bay of play. Ava even rode her first roller coaster! Jeff and I turn into kids at Sea World. We climbed and played and had so much fun. It was a great day and a great vacation!
