Spring Break in a familiar place!

I have been anxious to get back to San Antonio since the moment we left, two and a half years ago. It was such a sudden move and my entire world was changed upside down over night. The change has been good and we love our new home, but I am still homesick often. Ben on the other hand, feels much different. Every time I suggest we head back for a visit, his response is the same...We lived there over 8 years, we've seen San Antonio. I finally won the battle though and with a week off of school in early March and nothing on the books, we packed the car and headed "home."

We made the familiar drive and drove through our old stomping grounds first, commenting on all of the changes and those things that stayed the same. We stopped at a favorite friends house and the girls and I all loved seeing the Irwins and Barrs. Isabelle and Audrey were good little pals when they were babes and picked up right where we left off. Ben checked us into our hotel and we spent the next few days in several of our favorite places.




We toured the Alamo once again. It happened to be raining, which was strange for San Antonio, but the Alamo was fun with a now older Isabelle who studied it recently in school. Olivia couldn't remember anything but loved walking around downtown and made me a nervous wreck on the Riverwalk as she teetered on the edge of hopping right in.

Seaworld was a must on the girls list and we all had fun watching shows, riding rides, eating junk and getting wet. Isabelle has wanted to be a Marine Biologist most of her life and her early years at Seaworld may have influenced her.

Sadly Spring Break was coming to and end and it was soon time to head back to our "new" home. As we were pulling on to I10 Isabelle shouted out that we forgot to go to her favorite donut shop but Ben was already going 80mph and in the wrong direction to stop. She was disappointed but we agreed it just gave us another excuse to come back soon. San Antonio will always have a special place in my heart. It is where we bought our first home, where my babies were born, and where we learned what it means to be married. It was a good week and we all enjoyed remembering the Alamo once again.
