San Antonio

This last week while Joe and I were off for our 'Holidays' from work, we took a little vacation to San Antonio. I was off for six days straight and Joe was off for ten! We had plans to go to Arizona and New Mexico, but those plans got changed once we found out we were expecting. We figured that I would not do so well riding in a car for a 14 hour road trip.

So Joe, me, and some friends from work headed down to San Antonio for a little trip. We went down on Wednesday morning and got back Thursday evening. Even though it was a short trip, we had fun! Joe and I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Very fancy!! We had valet parking, and a very fancy breakfast. For an extra 20 bucks we got to have breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel. They had an omelet bar, and every breakfast item you could think of. Joe had an omelet and other stuff, and I had eggs, sausage, bacon, and toast. It was delicious. Very much worth the extra $20. The room we stayed in was nice too. It had a king size bed that was very comfortable, and even a minibar (which we did not use for obvious reasons). We went to the comedy club that is on the riverwalk. It was so funny! The comedian was JJ Ramirez. Some of his jokes were a little dirty, but very funny. He kept us laughing the entire time. After the comedy club we looked for a place to get something to eat/drink. We ended up at Dick's. It is where all of the waiters/waitresses are rude to you. I wasn't to happy to be there, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. After eating/drinking we headed back to our hotel rooms. The next morning after checking out of our hotels we met at the Tower of the Americas. They had a 4D ride that looked like we were flying over the state of Texas. The seats moved. We went everywhere in Texas, from a rodeo (where we felt a bull's horn buck us off and "snot" (water) when he snorted at us) to the desert (where a snake jumped out at us), and to the swamps (where a croc jumped at us). Even though the seats moved I got to enjoy the ride from the non-moving seats (for obvious reasons). After the ride, we rode the elevator to the very top to the observation deck. It was very high in the air. I was surprised that we got Michael on the elevator. On the deck we got to look out at the city. It was very cool to see the city from a different viewpoint. We were so high up that the helicopters in the air were at our level, and the 18 wheelers below looked like toy cars. After the Towers, we headed to the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch before heading out of town. We stopped at Cabella's (an Academy on steroids) in Buda, TX. Afterwards, Joe and I also stopped at Garden Ridge while the others headed back to Waco. We wish we could have stayed a little longer, but were happy to get out for a day. It was our "Babymoon". The next time we will have anymore than two days off in a row will be when we take off in July for the birth.

After six days off I had to come back to work on Saturday. I wish I could have been off longer! That's about it for now. We have our next appointment on Monday, January 12th.
