Let me start out by saying I'm not much of a birthday person. It takes a lot of effort for me to think about it in advance and make it special for whomever has the birthday. (This probably goes for most holidays; minus Christmas.) I succeeded with Tim's last birthday; but that was probably the first in the six years we've been married. Tim wanted me to do something extra special for Ryan's birthday, so we decided on Sea World! I had made up these tickets and put them in Ryan's birthday card. He of course had no clue what it meant. I guess I should have talked it up a bit before hand. Anyway.
On Wednesday we headed down to San Antonio. No sooner than 30 minutes into the drive, Colin had undone part of his seat belt (he recently learned how to do this) and when I asked him to put it back on he refused; which meant I had to pull over to discipline him. :) As I was pulling over, Colin thinking we have arrived goes, "Yaayyyyy!!!". hehe. He soon realized it was for the poor choice he made; but still funny to my mom and me.
The rest of the trip went pretty smooth. Our day at Sea World wasn't until Thursday, so after we checked into our hotel we headed downtown to see the Alamo and the Riverwalk. The Alamo was not nearly as big as I have always pictured it. (Forgive me now for the MAJOR LACK of pictures from this trip. I'm going to use my children as my excuse; my 3rd was attached to me most of the time and I was just trying to keep up with the other two the other half of the time.)
After the Alamo we went down to the Riverwalk. Ryan, Colin, & I went for a boat ride, and then we were able to have dinner at one of the restaurants on the Riverwalk. They had TONS of water features. I can't wait till Tim comes home and we can go down there together!
P.S. SO many great photos spots! Once the sun went down a little more, there was perfect light!
