Saturday: Corpus Christi
We rented a van for the weekend (which was waaaay convenient I admit) and drove about 2.5 hours south to visit the Gulf of Mexico. It turned out to be a gorgeous day - we all enjoyed dipping our feet in the sand & water, delicious ice cream, and a good dose of vitamin D!
Sunday: SeaWorld
We live really close to SeaWorld so I have been anticipating its opening day. Sophie has been talking about SeaWorld and Shamu for a while now too...to the point where each day she would ask things like: Is Seaworld open yet? When is Shamu's birthday? And even "does shamu wear underwear?" Needless to say, she was excited about going to SeaWorld!
So we went, and we all surprisingly had a great time! I was actually a little shocked at how entertaining it had turned out to be. The shows were great, there was a play area for younger kids, and Sophie went on her first roller coaster -- the shamu express! She was excited to go on it, but lets just say that she wasn't interested in going again afterwards. We ended up purchasing a season pass to SeaWorld and I am excited to make frequent visits there. I hear that they have a great water play area for kids once it gets hot....and here it will be hot before we know it!

Monday: River Walk
Monday we spent a relaxing afternoon in downtown San Antonio...sipping coffee at starbucks, strolling along the paths of the riverwalk, and enjoying some good mexican cuisine! And Tuesday they left :(
Here's a random pic of Sophie sporting my mom's curlers - cute eh?
Now don't you want to come visit? ? :)
