Weekend Away


This past weekend Joel had decided to take me to Sea World, only since he had been promising for 7 yrs to take me. I have never been to Sea World so we decided to go the 13th which was his bday. Such a sweet husband I know, taking his wife somewhere for HIS bday. Well he say it just worked out that way with work an everything. But I still giving props for taking me on his bday. Which really I think he was more excited than I was. Since I had never been I didnt know what to expect but he did. An he was like a kid in a candy store when we got there. Almost running to the gates to get in line. We left our house at 530 that morning an got there right as they were opening very good timing I would say. Joel got a schedule first thing so we could see when the shows were. I dont know what I was expecting with the shows but they were a million times better! We went to every show an did almost everything except the water park I just wasnt willing to get wet then go walk around. We saw penguins, sea lions, shamu, sharks, we fed the dolpins.
The shamu show was really amazing we both said we could sit there for hours an just watch them swim. It was such a great expierence! We did fill bad bout not bringing the kids but we def. will go back next year with them. This year they were just still a little to young. After seeing everything it was about 5 or so. We decided to go back to our hotel that was bout a mile from the river walk. An get ready an go have dinner an walk around. We get ready go have a few drinks before heading to dinner. By the time we had dinner an walked around a bit I was tired, an I had the bright idea to wear flip flops to Sea World boy was that a mistake I had blisters on the bottom of my feet an I got shin splints. So I was ready to hit the hay but I felt bad cause it was Joels bday an he wanted to go out an have a good time. Well I was limping when I walked so he decided to just go back to the hotel. After giving me a hard time of course.

The next day we SLEPT IN, that is the nicest thing to do on vacations esp after having kids. We got up an headed to San Marcus to the outlet malls. Boy was that thing huge but we got some great stuff. I was excited. By the end of that day my legs an feet were feeling much better. So we headed out to the river walk again an ate at a nice fancy place. It was really good. We walked around had some deserts. An took our little bus back to our hotel. This time Joel was tired. But of course I didnt give him a hard time.
The next day we of course slept in again. An got up an packed our stuff an headed out. We stopped in Gruene to look around in the shops an we had Brunch. We were defintly missing the kids. An wanted to get home fast. It was a really great weekend away!
