Jon and I took the boys on our first family of four vacation. Vacation, vacation… that just doesn’t feel like the right word to describe it, let’s think… I’ve taken several vacations. Many to the beach where I laid around and did nothing, some to shop at my leisure, and one to ski some slopes and then veg out in front of a fireplace with my sweetheart. Some were adventurous, most were a blast, and all were relaxing…The term vacation is loosely defined in several online outlets as the following: describes recreational travel, a short pleasure trip or possible journey abroad, going on a holiday or taking a leave... With that being said, Jon and I took our 5 year old and our 5 month old on a TRIP to San Antonio! There was no vacation about it! Ha Too far and too hot but still glad we went. Jon had promised Jaxson we’d take him to Sea World so we sure did. He enjoyed the shows. The killer whales put on a killer show, and Azul was a must see in entertainment value. Some birds, some whales, and some people danced and sang and flew around in all directions doing a well orchestrated jig. Entertainment indeed! The J’s road Atlantis, took the plunge, and was stoked to tell about it after… Meanwhile, the K and I sat back waiting on them trying to stay cool. Fortunately for me he is a hoot! Otherwise it would have been a snoozer Zzz As always I couldn’t ask for a better baby… very low maintenance and easy going. Our hotel had a kid friendly pool. Kellen loved the multi-colored fountains spraying water in all directions. We bought him what we dawned the ‘convertible turtle’ and he sat up in it looking way too cute and half grown floating around in the water.
Since I’ve met Jon and we’ve had hundreds of hours at airports and beaches and overnight shifts at work and movie theatres and various locations to share information, he has told me about his baseball trip to Del Rio when he was 15 and how they were fed this AMAZING chips and salsa that you can apparently only get in the surrounding area. So from the time we booked this trip to San Antonio the plan was to stop at Wal-mart and pick up some of this delicious goodness. He knows I am a self proclaimed salsa fanatic. We’re talking pile the stuff up by the truckloads and shovel it MY WAY! Loooove me some salsa! We finally tracked it down at the local H-E-B store. The brand is Julio’s, and it didn’t disappoint. So so good. We have 4 containers of it in our fridge at this time and 2 more bags of chips. You can’t have any of mine, but I highly recommend if you are ever in the San Antonio area that you give it a try. YUM!
Also.... Jon decided to grow a garden a few
months back.. He read up a little about it, bought the seeds, designated a rectangle
on the side of the house and went for it. he waters it, watches it... when we came home from 'vacation' this is
what there was, already !!
