San Antonio with the Thomas'

Over Memorial Day weekend, we decided to meet up with our friends the Thomas' in San Antonio. We drove down on Friday afternoon, and stopped in Austin on our way to eat at our favorite fajita restaurant- Lupe Tortilla.  (And well it wasnt everyones favorite- unfortunately our kids arent really that into Mexican food, so they tolerated it, while Kevin and I enjoyed it).  Then we checked into our hotel.  It was an Embassy suites- nothing special but the kids thought it was pretty fancy ;)

Saturday we headed to Sea World, and got just about 4 hours in before it started to storm.  That worked out fairly well as we had just enough time to ride our favorite coaster, and see the shows we hadnt seen last time and play for a bit before getting drenched in a torrential rain and leaving the park because in a thunderstorm everything shuts down!

Unfortunately the rain continued all weekend.  Luckily the Thomases plus the hotel was entertainment enough for us.  The kids swam,ate and rode the elevators to their hearts content.  On the last day we created a hotel scavenger hunt and did elevator races, which were a lot of fun!

Our rooms were at the end of a hallway so that created a spot for the kids to play their games without being in anyone's way.  It worked out pretty well.  Uno attack was their game of choice.

Sunday had the best weather of the weekend (of course), so at least we sort of got some temple pictures.  Its so disappointing that the temple grounds are all locked up so you cant walk around the temple grounds. Nevertheless, the kids and the temple always make a cute photo combination.

While the rain put a damper on our trip, we still had a great time.
