Road Trip!!! This year, we vacationed with 2 great family friends of ours – the Eder’s and the Zander’s! Our kids are all very close in age, they get along great and the moms and dads all have fun together, so it was a perfect match! Kyle Z. had to miss due to work, so Jennifer brought her kiddos and the adults just kept counting kids (5 adults, 9 kids was the final breakdown!!!).
The Clerkin’s and Eder’s arrived on Saturday afternoon and set out for dinner on the Riverwalk. The oldest girls had their hearts set on Rain Forest Cafe for dinner. After a short 2 HOUR WAIT, we were finally getting dinner. The food was less than stellar, but the company was great!
On Sunday, we had a great day to the San Antonio Zoo. We ran into The Rosser’s also in town for Spring Break, talk about a small world :) It was perfect weather for the zoo and the girls loved all the animals. We stayed through lunch and saw everything we wanted to!
Dad’s giving the kids the ‘stay together, don’t go off with anyone’ speech:
This komodo dragon loved the spotlight, he would follow people around the glass. The girls loved having him in their picture!
Same for the snakes!
Anna’s favorite animal – looks like a cross between a horse, zebra and giraffe.
After the zoo, we headed back to the hotel for a quick break then walked to the Alamo. You aren’t allowed to take pictures in the Alamo, so we got a few outside on the grounds. Ava fell asleep while we were waiting in line.
About an hour later, the Zander’s arrived in town. So we had another ‘stay together’ talk and were off for dinner at a pizza joint and Ben and Jerry’s for dessert!
Monday we tackled Sea World. It was actually pretty cold until about noon, but it worked out ok. We saw Shamu, which the kids all LOVED, and Azul which they thought was cool, but not quite as good. Then we headed over to feed the dolphins. This was pretty cool and except for Ava who was afraid of them, the other kids really enjoyed feeding them. Then it was lunch, log ride, ice cream and then we had spent the entire day! It was a lot of fun, but we all agreed it would have been worth it to spend $25 a person to skip the lines at the rides.
The trip was wonderful. The kids were all great while we were out, and we even managed hotel sleepovers with the big and little girls and everyone did great! Definitely a great trip all around!
