VACATION!

We are on vacation! We went from Wisconsin to Oklahoma in one day. We traveled 6 states in that first day and then 6 hours to the resort in Texas. Oh how fun it was! However, the night of our first day we drove from Oklahoma city to Paul’s Valley to find an hotel that was not booked or wasn’t super sketchy 🙂 It was a very nice hotel with wonderful, comfortable beds.

Today was our first full day in Texas. We went to the Alamo then the river walk, took a tour on the river, then went to El Mercado market. By the end of all of this the heat was starting to get to me and all of us. We piled in the car and drove around trying to find an ice cream stop. We were almost to the road to get to the resort when I spotted Sonic, it had been so long sense I had been to a Sonic. We turned around and went to Sonic to get some ice cream treats (I had a strawberry cheesecake shake, mighty delicious)!

I should mention something, yesterday the cars AC started struggling today it really struggled…

We got our ice cream treats and the car started to smoke and smell funny. I kid you not, we pulled away from the drive through window and the car started to smoke. It was right after it. What timing, thank you Lord almighty for letting us get ice cream before the sadness! So yes, we went to the dealer and dropped off our car. But not before dad turned the heater all the way up to try to cool down the engine. Lets just say we had all of the windows open and wanted to go fast to keep the air moving 🙂 When we got to the dealer we gathered our belongings from the car and were shuttled from the dealer back to the condo at the resort. What sweet people!

Our adventurous day ended with an adventure in and on its own.

Now we are sitting in the condo relaxing, calming down and loving the AC 🙂 About to watch a movie called Miss Congeniality, apparently some of it was filmed here in San Antonio, right on the river off the river walk! It was really cool to see it in person, now we are watching the movie to put it together…we don’t remember seeing it in the movie 🙂

Well, for now I bid thee all good day. I am tired and ready to take a nap. I will post more of our vacation as the excitement piles in 🙂
