Just cuz....

Family date!

Day of art!

And fun outside.

But,

sometimes in Kansas

its hard to know what to wear!

Love, the rockinryans

San Antonio or bust!!

Family trip

started off great!

The boys did amazing in the car.

They never complained

and were sooooo

excited to go to TEXAS!

We took our time,

stopped and stretched 

as needed

and took in the beauty

around us.

Our first night we stayed

at the amazing "World Casino"

right on the Oklahoma/Texas border.

It is HUGE, almost like a resort

with tons of restaurants.

They were a silly excited!

The next morning we made it 

to Texas in just about 5 minutes!

Then, before we knew it....

we made our way

to our room with a 

fantastic view...

Right on the corner, with 2 balconies

our room overlooked the

San Antonio River Walk.

What a fun place to be!

The boys loved the Palm trees,

I did too, 

that plus the warmth

made it feel like we were 

{almost}

in a tropical paradise!

Our first night

we wasted no time

and made our way onto the walk.

First thing

was a ride on the boats!

So beautiful at night.

It took almost an hour

to see the sights!

Then... the hardest decision

of the trip...

where in the world to eat???

Restaurant after restaurant!!!

Hard Rock was our first stop.

How fun!

The boys were silly again

and loved seeing all of the musical memorabilia.

My meetings were done by lunch time

so I would hunt down my guys 

who were always out discovering the city.

I have to admit, the thin walkway

was often packed with people,

and yes the boys loved walking (or running)

right on the edge... 

equaled one nervous mom!

However,

the water is only 3 feet deep

so, that made me feel a little better!  :)

Second stop,

Rain Forest Cafe!

Another fun, yummy meal!

Second major stop...

The ALAMO!!

Trent was most excited about this!

We all enjoyed seeing this history

and the boys loved the weaponry.

Just walking and enjoying the beautiful

weather and sites was very relaxing!

Yes...

next meal!

(are you sensing a theme?!)

Joe's Crab Shack.

This boy couldn't wait for

fish night!

The next morning the boys

ventured to the Buckhorn Museum

where I caught up with them later.

They LOVED it, no doubt!

Then an afternoon of relaxing

by the pool.

It was a little chilly,

so we followed the "sun spot" as it moved!

Chillin' at its finest!

Stinker liked to torture 

poor little Zee Zee sometimes!

On our way to

hunt down our next meal!

Mexican fiesta night!

The boys said

they "Don't like that music". HA!

We were soooo blessed to have

the most perfect weather on our

Sea World day!

Seeing this show

was exactly how I remembered it 

at almost the same age as Trent.

I hope these are some of the memories

that will stick with them forever too.

I know they will for me!

Zee Zee!

They ran in this thing

forever!

This was also Valentines day,

so we did gifts

and got ready for our night out

when we got back.

Ready for our 

night out!

Bub is a good photographer!

Spoiled rotten even in hotel!

I don't know how they pulled this off,

but I sure felt loved!

Beautiful valentines!

It was the perfect evening to eat outside

and savor our last night

in San An!

We started our venture North

and found the cutest off the path diner.

Sean insisted in one of these....

and yes, he ate it all

by bedtime!

We tried to swim in our Dallas hotel,

but it got COLD and the indoor pool was COLD!

We stopped in Dallas

to go to the Medieval Knights Dinner show.

This was their favorite

time of the entire trip.

The food was amazing, 

and probably the best meal of the trip!

FYI, Trent is now 

growing out his hair

to be like these guys!

Last meal of the trip!

We were so pleased with how well

the boys did on our vacation.

We loved our time and adventures together.

Doesn't get much better!

love, the rockinryans
