The rest of spring break

I keep thinking I am going to get back here with a thoughtful post about all the memories we made over spring break and the moments I don't want to forget. Probably not going to happen- So here are the highlights!

  • We spent Monday and Tuesday in San Antonio. We stayed in our favorite hotel chain- Drurry Inn. This hotel gets 5 stars from our kids. Free popcorn and soda, egg rolls, chicken wings, and nachos. Lucky Charms and waffles for breakfast. And CABLE! All the Disney channel you can watch!
  • We had grand plans to go to Sea World on Tuesday and left Kaya with grandma so we could spend some quality time with the big kids (fast scary rides) but we woke up to temps in the low 50's and the kind of spitting rain that makes you miserable.
  • So we did what our kids love best- shopped and went out to eat.
  • We went to the Disney Store twice! Most of you know that we consider this a magical, emotional experience. Many of our favorite family moments have happened on Disney Vacations and walking into a Disney store sends waves of emotions over us. 
  • Surely this is true for everyone who loves Disney World? (Once I tried to explain this to a Disney World virgin and he thought it was ridiculous. But his credibility for being emotionally balanced was tainted by the fact that minutes later he exploited my fear of escalators (especially in heels) and gave me a not so gentle shove as were going down. 
  • Lunch was at Rainforest Cafe in celebration of J's birthday! 
  • We shopped, built bears, had ice cream, and dreamed out loud about living in San Antonio. We made our requisite stop at Panda Express on the way home!
  • Wednesday morning the kids went to their first Zumbatomic class. Yes my obsession has bled over to the children! They were adorable and confirmed the fact that rhythm must not be genetic. Jayden and Elisha can really move and even the instructor mentioned their natural talent.
  • Thursday we went to zumbatomic and then NOTHING! Sweet, sweet, nothing!
  • Friday had plans of going to the fabulous pool in a town not far from here- but it was cold and windy. So we took lunch to Daddy at RLF and picnicked in his office and played on the indoor playground.
  • Date night was awesome! A movie and dinner at our new local- Applebees. We find ourselves there a lot lately because we can get a table right away, its two minutes from our house, and we know almost every server now.
