Sea World and San Antonio

We had a great week in San Antonio! We had some time for fun and relaxation before and in between Joey's convention.

Friday and Saturday we went to Sea World. Joey had never been and I had not been since my early childhood, so we had a fun, fabulous time! Friday was not crowded at all so we didn't have to fight the crowd or wait in lines. We were on the first car of the day for the Steel Eel, and then Joey rode a few times by himself. (Once was enough for me! He did take the picture for record that I did ride it!)












We also enjoyed all of the shows once and a few of then twice! The two Shamu shows were our favorites of all of the shows. It is amazing what the animals can do! Of course, we have hundreds of pictures, but I picked a few to share!

Just one of the many neat pictures of Shamu!



Getting ready for the 4-D show!






On Sunday, we headed downtown to the Marriot Rivercenter for the convention. Sunday night CoSIDA had reserved several of the riverboats, so we took the extended version of the riverwalk boat tour. This picture is during the tour. (Do you notice that all of our pictures have the same pose - head shots with Joey' arm extended as far as possible to take the picture!) After the tour, we ate at Casa Rio - the first riverwalk restaurant.



On Monday, we went and remembered the Alamo! It looks much smaller than it does in the history books or than it did when I
visited there before. Maybe that is because I was smaller then!
Tuesday, we enjoyed our anniversary on the Riverwalk. Wednesday night we took one last walk around the river and ate at Rio Rio. In between, we had luncheons, receptions, and I had lots of time at the pool in the hot San Antonio sun!

I love Casa Rio! I think that is where mom and dad used to always take us to eat when we were there. Can you believe Daniel has never been? We will have to rectify that in the near future! Glad you guys had a fun anniversary (with a little work) trip!

Sounds fun - I always enjoy San Antonio. There are so many fun things to do. I haven't been in a long time.

Casa Rio is my favorite! Is one of Joey's arms going to be longer than the other, or does he divvy out the picture taking? Glad y'all had a good time! Love ya!
