2010 San Antonio Vacation: Day Two

It’s day 2 of our San Antonio/Sea World vacation, and it’s back to Sea World for more fun. As you can see whether it’s just a natural “morning person” type of thing or the sugar from the donuts, the kiddos are in good spirits… no complaints from mom and dad.


We started off the morning taking a gander at the aquarium with all the fish and sharks. There was even a diver in with the smaller fish!


Of course we had to grab a souvenir penny…who doesn’t need mechanically altered currency?



Next, it was off to feed the dolphins. We may not have been swimming with them, but the money was well worth it to get so close to these friendly fish…. I mean mammals.


Obligatory, corny family photo opp…


The next attraction we stumbled upon was THE hit of the day. In fact, the ‘splash ride’ was ridden 8 times by our crew… all 8 times included Nate. That’s right our 3 year old could not get enough of this ride… and the soaking fall from the top of the coaster felt great with the weather still being in the low 80s…

Right before the plunge…

Result: We’re soaked!!

Grammy and Papa even took their turn on the ride… and were dowsed also…as gestured by Papa…


Now it was time to see the REALLY big fish show… and they were amazing…


Of course, after the show our little ones had to pick out a souvenir before exiting the park that evening. Here our littlest one found the perfect one. What an awesome time we had at Sea World!

2010 San Antonio Vacation: Day One

Day One of our 2010 San Antonio vacation: arrive at room and investigate…


Nope…no closet monsters.

Wow Daddy… she’s pretty!


Oh, there you are Daddy!


Next, it was off to find the playground… priorities!!



After getting settled, it was rise and shine as mommy recruited some reinforcements to help wake-up Daddy!




Next it was off to Chick-Fila for some breakfast… which means chicken biscuits and playtime…




Someone’s not happy about having to leave…


Little did the kiddos know that we were heading to Sea World… they had a blast!


We kicked it off with a blast… Nate [and Mommy] loved the ride!




Moments before the big 'Azul' show!!



Nothing boring about this show…


Hailey made sure we didn’t miss a thing…

She was keeping an eye on me!

We then ran across some crocs which grabbed Nate and Daddy’s attention.



After lunch we ran by to watch the sea lions play.





Daddy was then convinced to ride in the mini ferris wheel ride. I think Daddy may have lost something before we rode the ride… he kept mentioning something about losing his man card before we went on the ride…


After a full day at Sea World it was time for some night swimming and smores back at the hotel.

Grammy and Nate did a great job with the smores…

… Daddy on the other hand… well, that’s on fire Daddy, you’re gonna want to blow that one out! Poor Marshmallows!!

Even after a long day… these two don’t mind posing for the camera before baths and bedtime… what a crew we have!!
