San Antonio

We took Cason on his first road trip to San Antonio this past weekend and it was definitely an experience. First of all, it took us 7 hours to get there both ways because of pit stops and Austin traffic---and Cason did not love being in the car that long (and I don't blame him--I didn't either). For whatever reason, he decided that he did not want to sleep in the car at all. We even had him skip his morning nap so he would be extra tired but that just backfired and made him extra fussy. I have no idea why he didn't want to sleep in the car but I hope he learns to like it again soon.

The first night, after not getting his 2 naps, we figured he would sleep good. Again, we were wrong, he was up for most of the night and got up early. So we decided to take him to the hotel pool for some early morning swimming and he had a great time--he LOVES the water. We didn't take the camera to the pool and I wish we would have. After swimming, he took a great nap---thank goodness. We spent the rest of the day site seeing. We walked on the river walk, saw the Alamo, and did a little shopping. We even ate dinner ate our favorite little Mexican restaurant on the Riverwalk--so yummy! He slept great the next night---8 to 8---thank goodness :).

Sunday, we got up early and went to Sea World, we didn't know if he would like it or not but he did pretty good. The first thing we did was take him by a dolphin pool and one of the dolphins swam right next to him and he got scared---bottom lip stuck out and everything. We were laughing but Cason was not thrilled. He loved the aquarium and we even got him to watch the Shamu show. It was SOOOOOOOOOO hot outside, but it is hot everyday so that was nothing new. We are also 99% sure we saw Kim Kardashian walking around in 5 inch wedges and very short shorts.

When we left Sea World, Cason immediately fell asleep and we thought he would sleep for a while--wrong again! We pulled through a Whataburger drive through because it was after 1:00 and we were starving, and of course it woke him up and he stayed that way. We stopped by the Outlet Mall in San Marcus on our way home and the only person that got anything new was Cason--as usual.

All in all, it was a nice family trip and it was good to get away together. It was our first time to travel with him, and I'm sure it will get easier with each additional trip and as he gets older. Cason will never remember it but we will have the pictures to show him.
