Final Vacation

We took one last vacation to San Antonio at the end of the summer.  Just our little family.  We went to the JW Marriott.  It is a great hotel with a mini waterpark!  We went a few years ago and loved it.  You don't even have to leave the place.  It was a nice relaxing time with the boys.

There is a new Buc-ee's between here and San Antonio.  We're weirdos and get excited about a gas station.  But this is no regular gas station...it's the mother of all gas stations!  There is tons of merchandise, tons of specialty food, and tons of super clean bathrooms.

We bought the boys a little Bucee keychain for their backpacks.  It was very hard not to spend a fortune in there!

Caleb went crazy for these suckers.  And of course, he barely ate it and wanted to throw it away.

There was aisles and aisles of candy!  It was a kid's dream!

This is in between the guy's and girl's bathrooms.  That guy talks to you when you walk by.  The boys were facinated with him!

The hotel is in the hill country of San Antonio.  It's beautiful out there!

This is one of the pools.  There is a lazy river, a great little kid's area, and several slides too.

All ready for some swimming!

This is the bottom of two of the slides.

They both really loved this slide.  You can either get out at the bottom or slide down another little slide into the lazy river.  I loved that the boys are grown up enough to ride it on their own!

This is the bottom of the side in the picture above.

They played together so well.





Look at this comparison.  Caleb was so little the last time we were there!

One of the nights we were waiting for a table for dinner so we went outside.  There were kids running everywhere.  The boys had a great time playing hide and seek with some of the kids.

We ate at a restaurant inside the hotel with giant screen tv's.  The boys loved it!

And another night we let them eat at their favorite....Olive Garden. 

There were tons of great places for pictures but of course that's not what the boys wanted to do.  I was able to get a few though.

The last day of swimming they spent most of their time in the big pool.

All dried off and ready to go home!

We stopped by Chilis on the way home...another one of their favorite places to eat.  :-)
