elliston place: San Antonio

We decided to go on a small vacation this year. After completing the patio a trip to the caribbean just wasn't in the budget. :) We went to San Antonio for 2 days last week and did Sea World and the zoo. It was Caroline's first time to see animals of this sort. It's questionable as to what her favorite part was, but I definitely think she enjoyed the whale show, "Believe." The music was so loud and I think she really enjoyed seeing the big whales. I probably enjoyed it more than her though.:) It's so awesome to think that God actually created something like that. I could sit and watch them for hours. We stayed at the Westin La Cantera and loved it. It sits on the highest hill in San Antonio so you have great views of the beautiful hill country. I have several pics to share from our trip....

One hot and sweaty kid

Of course she managed to find a "park" at Sea World!

When we sat down to watch the whale show we managed to sit right behind 2 little girls who were chowing down on popcorn. Caroline practically started begging for popcorn. The sweet little girl noticed Caroline wanted some so she gave her 2 pieces of popcorn. Of course that wasn't enough to satisfy her little appetite! After more whining from Caroline, Keith leaned over to one of the little girls and asks for popcorn. I thought I was going to die! :) This just shows the measures a parent will go to keep their kid happy. The story ends of us having to move seats....

Not having a swimsuit didn't stop us!

Caroline is saying "roar" in the pic. We went to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner. About 20 seconds after this pic was taken the tiger started moving and I've never seen Caroline so frightened.
