Easter 2011

2011 Family Vacation

The last 2 years we have gone to Galveston for our vacation. We took the kids to Moody Gardens, Rainforest Cafe, and the beach. We would also stop in Texas City to see my aunt and uncle. I told Kevin this year that I didn't want to go to Moody Gardens again, and that we needed to think of something else.

We decided on Sea World San Antonio. We knew the drive would be long so we bought a dual screen DVD player. That was a LIFE SAVER! I don't think we could have made it there and back with our sanity if it weren't for that.

We got there on a Wednesday night and left Saturday afternoon.

Thursday we went to Sea World. They had Sesame Street there for breakfast at the park so we had to plan our day around that because of Claire. You know how Claire "loves" any thing in a costume. I'm glad I did some research and found out they were there. Otherwise that could have ruined our entire vacation. :)

The kids had so much fun. Because Sesame Street was there they had a whole section of the park with little Sesame Street rides like a carousel, mini dungeon drop, Ferris wheel, and a little ride that would go side ways and spin. Claire loved all of them. Lindon wasn't a fan though.

We all enjoyed the shows and even got a little wet. I was excited to get to feed and pet the dolphins. Claire liked to feed them, but she did NOT want to touch them.













Friday we went to the San Antonio Zoo. I'm so glad we went to Sea World Thursday and the zoo Friday because there was no school Friday due to the Fiesta San Antonio. Sea World probably would have been packed, and Thursday we didn't have to wait in ANY lines!

Anyway, so we went to the zoo. It was fun. The kids behaved and we just took our time. They had a train ride so we did that with the kids. It was very relaxing. Lindon even fell asleep during the train ride!
