Monthly Archives: June 2023

A couple months ago, I planned us a weekend in San Antonio. It wasn’t until early June that I realized the dates I had chosen actually fell on Father’s Day weekend. I mean, what dad doesn’t want to drive 10 hours round trip for his family to enjoy a weekend away? Ha!

On Saturday, we visited Sea World San Antonio and had lunch with the Orcas. After walking around a bit, the Child and I decided that we wanted to ride two coasters (Great White and Steel Eel). After finishing our ride on the Steel Eel, we decided to leave the park because it was way too hot and humid for humankind to be outside in that. We ended up at Lego Discovery San Antonio for a couple hours (indoors!!), and then back to our hotel for some relaxation.

Sunday found us spending time with some of our favorite people at one of our favorite restaurants (Magnolia Pancake Haus) and I felt like we could have talked forever. And then the 5 hour drive home with a pit stop at Buc-ee’s (snack of choice was a BLT this time). Henceforth, I will always share my snack of choice from Buc-ee’s because that’s really what Buc’ee’s is all about (plus the restrooms).

Last week, we checked out Hawaiian Waters, a local water park. We had a great time and got to watch the beautiful sunset. We rode all the slides once, a couple of them a few times. Sadly, I never did make it into the lazy river. I predict that we might go back … 🙂

We enjoyed a unique activity today learning about the tabernacles in the Bible, while viewing life size examples. If you’ve ever been curious, or didn’t know you were curious but now are curious, you should check and see if they’re coming to a city near you. If you do end up going, maybe try not to do it when it’s 100*F outside, though.

Hitting 90*F here today, so we went to see Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse. We also noted that there was a bunch of popcorn on the ground outside the theater. Perhaps it will pop?

Also, we were glad we weren’t in the theater that the wall was being held up on the outside…
