Trip to South Texas

Yesterday we got back from our vacation with my parents.  We left last Monday to head to the Hill Country to stay in the new lodge on the ranch my dad's relatives have.  We used to visit every summer as part of our summer vacation so it felt good to do the same with my kids.  The lodge is amazing and we can't wait to go back.  Tuesday and Wednesday included golf, swimming, hanging around the ranch and lots of great food.  We got up Thursday morning to take the girls to Sea World.  It was VERY hot, but it was actually a great day to go.  The crowd was nothing!  We were beat Thursday night and headed to our hotel on the Riverwalk.  My mom booked us an awesome hotel - Hotel Contessa.  It was so pretty and a great location.  Friday was my 29th Birthday (geez, I'm getting old).  We ate lunch at Boudros, hung at the pool, dinner at Mi Tierra and then my parents took the girls so Justin and I could have a little alone time.  We didn't stay out long because we got up early to pack up and head to Johnny & Kasey's house.  They were sweet enough to keep the girls for us so the adults could float the river.  Justin FINALLY got to float - haha!  Anyway, two of my cousins and their girlfriends joined us and it was a great time.  After that Johnny, Kasey, Maddie and our girls met us for dinner at the Gristmill and then we stayed the night at their house.  Sunday morning we did a little shopping at the outlet malls before we drove back.  On the way home we stopped by to see the progress on the house and it is so close!!  We should close Monday or Tuesday and then will move next weekend.  It has been a crazy week, but so much fun!  Also, in case you are wondering.... I'm the genius that bought a new camera for the trip and then left the chip at home.  My mom has pictures, but who knows when we will see those!  ;)
