Texas....finally

My children never really got into Disney cartoon movies...they would rather watch old black and white cowboy movies. Michael was asked when he was 4 where he would like to visit..."Texas...to see Uncle Ben." Since then, I decided to let the boys choose where they want to travel with me when they turn 12. Dal chose Hawaii. Mike chose Texas. I was a little disappointed, but then I started researching it and got really excited. We spent 2 days on the Gulf coast on Padre Island. It was so nice swimming for hours in the WARM water!!! 

Mike boogie-boarding 

Oh,Tyler, that sweet boy, building a sand castle!!

Michael and Uncle Ben findin' shells WAAAAAy out there

Back to the HOtel.

Then, we spent the next three days in San Antonio. We had the BEST BBQ...oh, so scrummy at Rudy's. We also went exploring at the Natural Bridge Caverns. It was the most amazing thing I have seen. We were the only two on the tour, so it was pretty amazing.

I like thparklies.

This was called "bacon" drapery

And, of course, the Alamo!!!
