My Big Trip- Part 1: San Antonio

Hi everyone!  For the last two weeks, I went on a great trip to see my Grandma Pam and Grandpa Steve in San Antonio and then my Uncle B and Aunt Elissha in Seattle.  First, I flew to San Antonio with Grandma Pam while Mommy and Daddy stayed in Atlanta for a few days.  I slept on the plane for the entire trip - Grandma was very happy about that.  It was my first time away from Mommy and Daddy, but I did so many fun things with Grandma and Grandpa that I didn't miss them too much. We went to the zoo where I saw lots of cool animals, but I spent most of the time running around and playing with the gates. We alsod went to the San Antonio children's museum.  Below is a picture of me at the museum playing in the kitchen.  I've been watching some Top Chef with Mommy and have a couple of good recipes I'm working on.  One requires plastic broccoli, plastic tomatoes and a plastic banana. 

After three days, Mommy and Daddy flew to San Antonio to join us.  While we were staying at Grandma and Grandpa's we got to play with a lot of Daddy's old toys.  I liked playing with the lincoln logs.  More specifically, I liked to watch Grandpa and Daddy build something, and then I liked to tear it down. 

On Saturday, we went to Sea World.  I liked watching the dolphins.  They got really close to Daddy and me. 


Then, we went to watch a show featuring sea lions.  The sea lions were funny because they wouldn't do what the trainers wanted them to (at least in the beginning).  Then, a young sea lion made a mess on the stage.  Daddy thought that was hilarious. 

Finally, we found a waterpark I could play in.  I liked running through the sprinklers.



The next day, we went to visit several historic missions.

 
I really liked walking through the old doors. 

One of the missions had a trail that led to the San Antonio river.  I like walking over bridges. 



I got tired after a while, so Daddy had to carry me.  Grandpa kept tickling me though.

Finally, we ended at the Alamo.  Daddy and Grandpa were much more interested in the Alamo than I was.  To me, it just looked like the other missions we had visited, except it was smaller and had a lot more people. 

The following day, we went to the San Antonio River Walk and took a boat tour.  After trains and maybe trucks, boats are my favorite mode of transportation. 

The River Walk was really pretty. 



When we got home that night, we played with the lincoln logs again, but this time, I decided not to tear down the cabin Grandpa built.  It was a momentous occasion.

On our final day in San Antonio, Grandma took me to a kiddie amusement park while Mommy and Daddy went to an art museum.  I really enjoyed the rides, especially the carriage ride. 










That night, we flew to Seattle.  I'll post pictures and videos of the Seattle leg of my trip shortly.
