San Antonio Trip

January, we went on a little family trip to San Antonio. The kiddos had no clue where we were going or what we were up to...they just knew this little car trip was turning into a long one. I think when we got to Waxachie, we finally told them and surprise they were super excited.

The reason we were taking them was to go see the Monster Jam Truck Show - Tommy's fav! We got a nice room at a Best Western and it had an indoor swimming pool, so the majority of our trip we were at the pool! The kids LOVED it! They were really happy to be out of town in a new place and doing what they love to do - SWIM! I wanted to go eat at some spots that I had heard about on Food Network, I think we only tried 2 places from my list... They were really good! The day of the Monster Jam show, we tricked the kids into thinking we were going to a Ballet performance - man they were so not looking forward to that. But as we got closer to the stadium they knew we were lying...they got tired of us tricking them, but we do it for a reason... they won't bug as much about where we're going if they don't know about it... Its a theory of ours - not sure how much longer we can keep it up without totally frustrating our kids. Anyway, they loved it - they both got some stuffed monster trucks and couldn't wait to go back to the pool. I wanted to do some sight seeing but they preferred the pool, which in the end, was a better choice. Can't wait for us to do another little road trip together. Maybe this summer?????
