Spring Break and Wordless Wednesday...

Spring break 2008 begins in 2 days and since we aren't going anywhere this year, I decided to post on last year's adventure (besides I am at a loss as to what to write, but feel pressure to write something, this is a party after all!).......

2007 was the first time we ever traveled for Spring Break. We took 5 kids and drove to San Antonio where we stayed on the Riverwalk. That was an amazing get-away! Even the 12 hour car ride wasn't bad.

The little girls' favorite part was the "Happy Hour" in the lobby of the hotel every evening (free pop and snacks for all, what could be happier than that?).

Q-Man's favorite part was riding the boat along the Riverwalk. This is a very good way to learn the history of the area!

The teenagers' favorite part was the balloon lady at Hard Rock Cafe (that poor woman had no idea what she was getting herself into!).

My husband's favorite part was the Alamo. What could be more manly than forts, guns, battles, cannons, and Daniel Boone hats? Especially if you can talk with clients from there.....

My favorite part (other than spending 5 days with no deadlines or schedules) was definitely the food!!!! Prepared by someone other than me!

Although I also liked the Elvis exhibit at Hard Rock!

The beauty of a driving vacation is the flexibility to make stops along the way. On the way home from Texas we stopped to visit the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. It is a very peaceful and reflective place. Even the kids seemed to sense the reverance. With that said, I want to share the next photo as my Word-Filled Wednesday post.

This year's Spring Break might not be as exciting as last year but I could use a little down-time!
