Our Getaway


Billy and I enjoyed a few days together over spring break. Just the two of us. While we enjoyed some alone time, Andrew and Logan enjoyed having fun with GeeGee and Grandpawpaw. Our getaway destination was to San Antonio. The weather was great. We enjoyed walking the riverwalk and San Antonio streets hand in hand with no diaper bags or little bodies to worry about (I even decided to leave my purse behind to enjoy the full effect of no bags), sleeping in, eating at nice restaurants and actually tasting the food :), getting a massage at one of the salons, visiting the Alamo and enjoying some couch time to just sit and watch TV. Thank you Mom and LeeRoy for keeping our boys. It was nice to know they were in good hands.

Not the best quality picture with Billy's phone but remember I carried nothing :)



We did attempt to get one picture with our camera in the hotel to document the event :)


Billy and I in front of the Alamo. We did do some looking around, but due to long lines of Spring breakers opted not to do everything. The weather was beautiful. Later on this night we ate at one of the Mexican food restaurants on the Riverwalk. We were seated right on the water. It was nice to eat and enjoy the sites.

We both came home ready to see our boys, but also ready to go again.
Thank you Billy for going on this trip with me. I enjoyed every minute and look forward to when we get away again. I love you!

Port Aransas Trip

We loaded up and spent a few nights in Port Aransas at Port Royal Resort. Gramps, Nanalyn, Granny, Aunt Kerri, Uncle John, Auntie Am, Uncle Jonathan and Luke also joined us. We were able to stay all together in a condo and had lots of fun. The beach was very windy and had lots of seaweed so we mainly spent our time at the pool. However we did spend one morning at the beach and Logan loved the waves, building sand castles and throwing sand (much to everyone elses dislike).


Our balcony faced the ocean and had a good view of the waves, the birds and the bridge over the sand dunes that led to the beach. Logan and Gramps enjoyed lots of time together watching the sites. "Look Mommy a bird! "

Balcony view.

Logan and Daddy having fun with the noodle. Logan is a little fish. He loves the water and is not afraid of going under. He is not swimming on his own, but with floaty on his arms he can make his way around the pool.


Enjoying the huge pool. It had multiple pools joined together separated by waterfalls and even a waterslide. Us "big kids" enjoyed it and look forward to letting the "little kids" enjoy the slide in the future.;)


Andrew like his brother loves the water. This was his first swim in a pool. From the love for his baths I was not concerned how he would react. He loved the pool and I am not sure his legs ever stopped moving the whole time we were in the pool.


We spent one morning at the Texas State Aquarium. The boys had lots of fun looking at all the sites and it was a good break from the sun and the heat.

Logan and Luke looking at the many fish. When asked what was his favorite Logan said watching the dolphins jump, seeing the sea horses and a clown fish that looked like Nemo.


Auntie Am and Luke take a break from touching the sting rays to smile for the camera.

Logan trying to touch the sting rays. He was unsuccessful but I wasn't. :) Very slimy not sure I will be doing that again :)


We saw a dolphin show while at the aquarium. We all enjoyed seeing the dolphins jump and do tricks.


Gramps, Logan and Luke waiting for the show to begin


Ready for the show: Uncle Jonathan, Luke, Andrew, Auntie Am, Stephanie, Logan, Billy, Nanalyn and Granny.

We had a great trip! Thanks Nanalyn and Gramps!
