San Antonio Vacation

We are back from sunny San Antonio. It was an amazing vacation and Mike and Lamiae were such wonderful hosts. We've known Lamiae almost ten years now and she still continues to amaze us with her cooking talents. All weekend long we ate the most delicious meals with my favorite being her seasoned fish but Justin would beg to differ as he ate bowlfuls of her homemade mac n cheese. Mike ordered up the most beautiful weather in the 80s every day and gave us the V.I.P. treatment. Here are some of the highlights from the trip.

Sea World is always a good time. We took in the sea lion, dolphin, and Shamu shows. There was a special kids play area and Colin loved climbing all around the ropes and tunnels. He rode a roller coaster and at the end we got close up action of them feeding the dolphins!



The weather really was perfect with warm sunny days all weekend. Mike kept the pool a nice 85-90 degrees and had all kinds of pool toys for the boys. Justin was a bit timid at first but eventually made it into the water. Colin loves the water and took full advantage of "Jump Rock." Even Max wanted in on the fun and would dive into the water after Colin.



We did the Riverwalk on a Sunday morning which worked out great. It wasn't too hot and there wasn't a ton of people out. We strolled along drinking our coffee and taking in the beautiful views along the San Antonio River. Prior to the walk we saw "African Adventure" at the Imax. It was especially neat as we viewed it in 3D with our fancy glasses.



Our final highlight was Malibu Castle. We played mini golf, bumper boats, and played some cool arcade games.




It was such a fun vacation! Thanks again Mike and Lamiae for such an amazing time! Click here to see all the trip pictures.

San Antonio is a beautiful city and Mike and Lamiae have such a beautiful place.
