My moms Visit - Part 2

While my mom was here we wanted to do something kind of special, so we decided to take the boys to Sea World in San Antonio....we were a little nervous because it was just going to be the 2 of us with the boys because Vinny was out working, but we decided to be brave and just go do it!!! And man was is a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only bad thing was that is was so hot, even the boys were miserable walking around the park. It wasn't like we were expecting, but it really was fun. We saw a few shows..the Shamu show (of course), the sea lion show, the boat show, and a 4-D pirate movie(which was cool because it was in 3-D, but they sprayed you with water or air or your chairs shook...it was fun! I loved the Shamu show...it is amazing how well they can train these animals. Trey was hilarious during the show because Shamu splashes the audience, so the after the first splash Trey starts crying and says "That big dolphin splashed me in the eyes...there is salt water in my eyes" I felt bad for him, but it was too funny not to laugh about it...so from then on every time we see a picture or figure of Shamu, he tells us about how Shamu splashed salt water in his eyes and it hurts. To this day he is still talking about it! The other cool thing was the penguin exhibit...they try to keep it as natural as possible, so the lighting is just the way it would be in their natural habitat, so it was dark in the exhibit....it looked really cool. The dolphins were in a big pool that you could lay on the sides and touch the dolphins if you they got close enough, so that was pretty amazing...dolphins are so pretty. The boys got to experience their first roller coaster ride and they loved it...we actually went twice. It was really so much fun and we are definitely going back once the weather cools down a bit....walking around in the upper 90s with full humidity was not fun, even with the water to play in.

After that exhausting day, we didn't want to make the drive back home, so we decided to stay in hotel over night. It was a Comfort Suites and it was probably one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in for the price of a regular plain hotel. There was a separate little living room with a table and chairs and a pullout couch, with a tv and fridge and microwave. Then in the actual bedroom with 2 queen beds and another tv in there....plus the bathroom was nice...everything was so clean and new looking. This is definitely my new favorite hotel...so if you are needing a hotel, check out the Comfort Suites. Oh and their breakfast in the morning was amazing....completely free...eggs, sausage, biscuits, waffles, and of course all the other normal breakfast things. Sorry enough about the hotel....I got distracted because we were shocked how nice it was. Well, the next morning we had breakfast and then swam in the pool for a little bit.

It was an amazing little vacation!
