Spring Break in Texas

During Emma's spring break, we headed out to do some exploring. We headed to Southwest Texas because the flights were relatively cheap and it was a shorter flight that going all the way across the country. We started our week in San Antonio. The first day we were there, we headed to Sea World to visit all the animals, see some great shows, and ride a few rides.




The morning was overcast and cool, which was great, but then the sum came out and it got very hot and humid. We decided to head back to the resort to swim in their great pool and lazy river.
In the parking lot of Sea World, we ran into this:

Our little rented Prius is hidden behind this monster truck. Ian loved it! Emma was just hot at this point.
But S'Mores at the resort make everything better:


and smiles return.
Another day, we headed into downtown San Antonio to see the riverwalk and the Alamo.

It was time to leave San Antonio, so we took the long way back to Austin through the hill country. We had lunch in the cowboy capital of the world:

and saw lots of bluebonnets

We made it to our resort in Austin, where we spent the rest of the week. We pretty much stayed on the resort in Austin, (only going downtown for the afternoon one day) because there was so much to do at the resort.

There were bikes,


Pony rides,

games on the lawn,

a lazy river,


and a waterslide.
We hung out at the pool,


and rode on hayrides pulled by tractors.

We got to feed the resort mascots,

and just look at some of the bigger ones

and on Saturday, you could go on a ride on this:

There was even hiking right at the resort

We had a really relaxing time and it was great getting away to a resort with so much to do for everyone!
