well, this week was spring break. and for the first time, we took a break and went on a vacation. my parents, little sister carly, little brother trent, older sister faith, her husband brad, their 3 kids austin, abby, and alex and then the 5 of us, all went down to san antonio, tx. the first day we went to the alamo and took a boat ride on the river walk. it was really cool to tour the alamo. alot of history and interesting. kurtis says it was cool but while touring, he was just ready for the next day....seaworld. we had 2 day passes...which i would recommend to anyone going. you can't do it all in one day and be satisfied. it was really great. all the shows were amazing. what an oppurtunity to see those animals up close and performing. they are so smart. by far our favorite was the shamu show. we saw it twice. we were going to go to the beluga/dolphin show again, but kurtis wanted to ride some rides so i took advantage of it and went with him. he's a tough guy that wimpers out on these rides!! we got him on the log ride, the rapids and finally the new one, journey to atlantis. it's like a water roller coaster. he hated it. but he rode it non the less. we stayed on lackland air force base. my dad is in the air national guard and all bases have hotels. so, for $27.00 a night, we stayed on base. so for that price we didn't drive home after the last night. we slept there and got up and had a leisure drive back to faith's. they live in the dallas area. but my most favorite place we ate, was on the way back. it was at Centerpoint Station. i got the most awesome bacon cheeseburger ever!!!! it was so good. and their cinnamon rolls were wonderful. all in all we had a wonderful trip. not too long, not too short. next time, i'll skip the alamo and go straight to seaworld though. the kids had a blast with their cousins too. what a fun time!!!
here is the whole group of us except chuck who took the pic. we are waiting in line to get into the alamo.

What a fun time!! And yes..I'm jealous that you have sun. But still..a great spring break vacation. :D Glad you could go and just have fun for a bit.
HOW FUN! What a nice FAMILY vacation. That's so fun that more then just your little family went! It makes me sooo excited for when we go to Texas in alittle over a month. But we are going to have to do Sea World in one day, hopefully it will be okay!
Looks like you had awesome fun! I have been to Sea World a few times (being from California). It was more fun the first time I went because it was just all so new and exciting! I would still go back though. I think my favorite was the sea otter/seal show. They are soooo funny and smart like you said!
Wow! I don't believe you are actually in school. You are getting to do some way fun stuff and Chuck gets to go also. That is too cool.
We haven't been to seaworld but its on our to do some day list. I am glad you got to have such a fun Vacation! You hair is great by the way. I really like it.
Wow...it looks like you had one awesome spring break! I'm so jealous of the warm weather. Snow for us again!
