Weekend Getaway Part 2!!

WOW... what a crazy few weeks this has been!!! I highly doubt to many of you are actually sitting around wondering where my next vacation update is, but here it is!! :-) (I'm getting quite aggravated trying to get the pictures lined up the way I imagine them looking on here???)

We woke up Saturday morning and went downstairs to enjoy a very busy and not so good breakfast! The yogurt was the best thing they had, and only because they didn't make it! :-)

After Breakfast we headed to downtown again to see the Alamo and do some more walking. My boss told me about a movie at the IMAX theater that shows a movie about the history of The Alamo, and the war. So we headed there first to watch that. Although the acting was not the greatest, the kids really enjoyed it. And we had fun walking around the Alamo picking out some of the details we had seen in the movie.

The IMAX Theater was located in the Mall, so after watching the movie we decided to head down to the food court to grab a quick lunch, and do some window shopping.

And those of you that know my husband well, know that he loves everything surround sports. He collects autographs, sports memorabillia and wants to attend a game at every stadium in the US. So imagine the joy he had when he seen this sign...

He of course quickly went in and bought some merchandise and after eating lunch stood in line with Aleena to get his autograph.



After spending some time at the mall we finally headed out to the Alamo.

While waiting in line for the Alamo the kids enjoyed seeing the horse carriages, and snowcones

After touring the Alamo we walked around in the gardens surrounding it, and took a few pictures.
I loved these pics of my mom with the kids
A few attempts to get the kids together.. they started out nowhere near each other!!



And 2 of my guys...

We headed over to some gift shops and we went in a Mirror Maze with the kids. Its this building full of mirrors and you have to try and find your way out.. The kids had a great time.


Then we headed back to the hotel to get ready for a night out.
For our anniversary we got tickets to see Billy Joel and Elton John! We had a GREAT time at the concert, we splurged on some good seats. I'm more familiar with Elton John's music then I am Billy Joel, but let me tell you, they both were FANTASTIC!! Billy is quite the entertainer... Doing a John Wayne impersonation, twirling that microphone stand everywhere, dancing on the piano, cutting jokes like crazy.. We had a great time!!
