We had a great spring/winter break this year. We had a few days of decent weather and a few days of really wet freezing cold weather. We decided to vacation during the wet awful cold weather because that is what we do. We still had a super great time and can still feel the pain from the 50 degree water in the pool!!!
We all loved Sea World. When we arrived at noon there were only 20 cars in the parking lot. No one else was crazy enough to go in 40 degree weather. It doesn't matter how cold it gets...the dolphins still need to eat!
Blake didn't get his fingers too close to his mouth!
So this is who Shamu is. Jacob was unclear of his identity before our trip to Sea World. After the show however, Jacob was impressed and asked if we could get a real Shamu for our swimming pool at home!
Of course we went on the River Walk Cruise! It was amazing, but the buffet wasn't as good as I have been told. The river was an impressive green because it had been dyed for St. Patrick's Day.
We took our kids to The Alamo just so we could be good parents. I don't know exactly what they were expecting...but it wasn't the long lines and boring grey cement walls. I think they were expecting William Barrett Travis to be there with his sword or something!
We loved our Hotel. We stayed at The Hyatt Hill Country. They had tons to do and the kids never got bored. It is definitely worth taking a vacation there. The "heated" pools and lazy river were a bit cold in my opinion, but we all toughed it out and swam anyway.

Looks like a fun vacation. Just getting a break from all the school projects was worth it all (I mean you, Erica).
Erica, it is great to see you and read your blog. I found you through Emily's blog. The Hyatt Hill Country Resort is where J & I met. We bought a Hyatt vacation club membership and love going there! We don't even need to do all the sight seeing anymore. We just hang out at the lazyriver and relax! Glad you had fun! Shannon
