Back Home Again

After 284 pictures, we have arrived back home from San Antonio. The flights were good coming and going. We only had turbulence going into San Antonio, only because the pilot was trying to divert around a thunderstorm.

The fourth of July was spent at SeaWorld where we were drenched not once but twice by the wonderful downpour. We never made it to see the penguins and find the free beer.

This picture was after our first drenching.

In between SeaWorld and the Riverwalk, we played games in the arcade park next to our hotel. Josh and Tony won 3,000 tickets. Where he exchanged them in for these lovely braclets and other random items.

In the evening, we had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe along the Riverwalk. Then we walked the Riverwalk and took the boatride along the walk.

On Saturday, we attended James and Jennette's wedding. It was beautiful. They were married at St. Gregory's Catholic Church in San Antonio and the reception was held at the Embassy Suites.

A very cool part of the wedding was that a mariachi band came in and played for an hour. Laura has now decided that she wants one for her wedding.


On Sunday morning, we checked out of our rooms and headed back downtown. We took in the Alamo and shopped in the little shops around the Alamo.

Then we headed off to find the Cheesecake Factory. I had a divine piece of Dutch Apple Caramel Streusel cheesecake. It was probably enough calories for two days! Then we dropped the rental car back off and boarded our plane. We were back home by midnight.

The funny thing is that hubby turns to me on the airplane to Detroit and says, "We have to fly again somewhere." This is the same person who grips the seat in terror as we take off and land because he is scared to death to fly. Huh?
