On Monday we left around 8 and headed for San Antonio. We stopped at Red Rock at an outlet mall. We arrived at our hotel around 3 in the afternoon. We got checked in and then headed to Sea World. Wyatt wanted to visit Sea World. First we watched the killer whale show. It was wonderful, those things are huge and one of the whales had a baby that was born in January. Then we got a drink and popcorn. We saw a sea lion show. We saw penguins. Sea World also has s little water parked hooked onto the main park, Wyatt wore his swimming trunks so we headed there, Wyatt played in the water a little bit but it wasnt all open yet for the season. Then he was cold so we had to buy a towel for him. We also watched a pirate show in 4D. This reminded us of Disney World. Wyatt played on the largest jungle gym I have ever seen. We saw the alligators and then it was starting to drizzle. We took our picture with Shamu and then we left. We were all hungry so we stopped and got us Taco Cabana for me and Wy and Heidi got Whataburger and we ate it back at the hotel and then we sleep, really really good.
Sea World wasnt as great as i expected so I didnt want to go back on Tuesday and spend a whole day there. Heidi wanted to go to Corpus Christi (which is only 2 hrs away from San Antonio) so we headed there. On the way to Corpus Christi there was a tour bus that had fell onto its side so we had an at least hour long detour. Some other tourist had told us to go to Padre Island instead of Corpus Christi and said it was only 30 mins from Corpus Christi so we asked Wyatt. Padre or Corpus Christi and he chose Padre Island. The next problem was we didnt have any address to a beach so it took us a little extra time to find the National Seashore in Padre. Wyatt loved the ocean. Even though the sun wasn't out and it even rained a bit on us while we were walking along the beach it was still a great experience. We found lots of dead jellyfish. Wyatt picked up tons of sea shells and found a clam that was still closed and found 2 sand dollars. We wrote our names in the sand and watched the water wash them away. We drove the hummer along the beach. It was wonderful. Heidi and I put our feet in but Wy was determined to get in the water a little more then his feet, so he did. Then he was cold and ready to go. We stopped and shopped and grabbed some snacks and headed back to San Antonio.
A couple hours later we got back to San Antonio and Aunt Cheryl had told us about a fabulous place to eat called Mi Tierras Cafe. So we went there. They had a 2 hour wait. Even though they are open 24 hours a day. They are also known for their huge Mexican Bakery. So we took a number and waited to pick out what desserts we wanted to leave with since we were not eating dinner there. I have no idea what we got but it was all yummy and we picked up some for Aunt Cheryl. Around this area in downtown is also a "Mexican Market" to shop in. This didnt last long because Wyatt was scared by the environment. (It was dark.) In one shop there was people drinking beer and dancing where crosses, purses and figurines were being sold. It was something none of us were used to. We were also wore out. We stopped at Taco Cabana again for me and Jack in the Box for Heidi and ate dinner at our hotel again.
Wednesday we got up early enough to have breakfast at the hotel. We left by 11. We went back to Sea World. Wyatt wanted to ride the Rio Loco water ride and I wanted to see the dolphin show. We had paid for season passes anyways so we should see everything while we were in the area.
