Quick Getaway

We decided to take the kids on a little mini-vacation this past weekend. We didn't go on a family vacation this year because we're planning a big one next year.

San Antonio seemed like a great place: Sea World and the Riverwalk- a little bit for everyone!

Our first stop was Natural Bridge Wildlife Park. As you can see, it's a drive through park, and you get to feed the animals from the car. The boys LOVED it!

Our next stop was the Children's Discover Museum of San Antonio. It was only a few blocks from our hotel, and the boys loved it.

After a little swimming in the pool on the rooftop of our hotel, we headed out for dinner on the Riverwalk. It was yummy, and the boys thought it was super cool to be sitting right next to the river while we were eating. It was a such a nice evening.


On Friday, we headed out to Sea World. The kids didn't know where we were going until we got there. When we got there, William spotted the Shamu statue at the front, and he said "Mommy, look at that Shamu!" I said, "So, where do you think we are?" He looked at me with wide eyes, and said "SEA WORLD?" He was thrilled!

Thumbs up for the Shamu Express:


It was a such a fun day, and a fabulous mini-vacation!

We live in Kerrville (only a year and a half moved from denton) and I've never been to Natural Bridge Wildlife! We need to go! Love the pics.
