San Antonio and beyond.......

Our first family vacation turned out to be on the great side! I guess you start to judge a trip by the number of melt downs and I have to say we didn't have many at all. Even Cody!!! He is my baby that LOVES, LOVES, LOVES his naps------in his bed. I can put him down at 12:00 and sometimes have to wake him up at 3:30 or 4:00. So, I knew he would not get much if any of a nap any day....and he didn't. But, I have to say he was wonderful!

We started off the day driving to Austin. We were able to go over to my aunt and uncles house for dinner where we had a awesome dinner and yummy mojitos between keeping up with Cody. I like to let anyone and everyone know before we come over to put up any one of a kind, special nicknack's that CAN NOT be replaced. I have a 2 broken rule....once we (Cody) breaks two things it is time for us to go. Luckily, that happened at the end of the night so we didn't have to end our night too early. Sorry Dennis and Brenda.......:) Dennis put the girls on a 'Texas Treasure Hunt' around their house....they are still talking about it today. It is the little things that they love and remember.

The next morning we went ahead and left for San Antonio and dropped by to see my sweet cousin, hubby and their new precious little girl. It was so nice to meet their little one.... Molly and I were such special buddies as kids it is hard to believe she is a mommy! One a good note.... Cody didn't break anything! Whew!

Sea World was on the to do list for the next day. It was crazy windy and pretty chilly but all in all it was great! The kids all loved the shows....Cody sat still for every single one. The girls decided not to sit in the splash sections because it was so chilly.....good choice. We never made it down to the River Walk.... we will save that for when Cody is a little older. There is just something about a narrow walkway with no fence and a river that scares me with a toddler...call me crazy.

What I am thankful for.....my husband. I don't know if any of you are watching Celebrity Apprentice or not but there was something that Donald Trump said that I really respected. There are two celebrities left...Piers and Trace. Complete opposites. Piers talks a lot and hurts more with his words then good. Trace is very quiet but says something when he has something to say not just for the sake of talking. In the 'boardroom' a few weeks back, Donald said he really respects Trace because he listens and doesn't talk ALL the time but only when he has something to say. And what he says is always respectful and intelligent. That really made me realize that Dell may not be Chatty Kathy but he is respectful with his words and uses them wisely and not hurtful. I am thankful that Dell treats me with love and respect and is who he is as a husband and father.
