san antonio trip...

San Antonio was a lot of fun, much more to do than I was afraid of. The downtown part has this neat riverwalk area, with little boat rides and all kinds of shops and restuarants We went there and Luke loved the boat ride around the downtown! We did the zoo with Brad and Laura. Swimming at the hotel was a big hit. And we drove down to Corpus Christi (2 hr) to visit Sam's aunt and uncle and cousin. Lots of new foods and places and schedules for an almost two-yr-old, but Luke did great, overall.

The plane ride down, on our laps, was great for the first hr or so, he loved the drink cart and the little cookies they gave him. Then he got restless and we had to go to emergency plan A: Sam's laptop with Tigger and Pooh on it. Luke was amazed. TV is still a novelty to him, since we only do about 20 minutes or so a day. So the fact that it was on Daddy's computer was mind-blowing. Luke sat on my lap with earphones on and was mesmerized by about an hour of Tigger and Pooh Bear, while Sam and I dozed off. He missed naps on more than half of the days we were there and then would wake up at 6 central time, which is about an hour early for him. He fell asleep in the car alot, which he has not done in probably 6 months. Then on the flight home, there was an extra seat, so he got his car seat and he actually slept for about an hour, until he landed. Poor little guy.

But we are back to normal and gearing for a big 2 year old birthday!!
