For a last hoo-rah before the baby comes, we decided to go to San Antonio for the 4th of July weekend. This was only made possible by the fact that Kyle has a great new job that is M-F. He is off weekends and gets home around 4:30-5:30 every day. Fabulous!! Since the 4th of July is Dar's birthday, we invited him along. We went to Sea World on the 4th. It would have been great, except it
kept raining off and on all day long. We got to see a few shows and Kyle and Dar rode a couple of rides. The fireworks and BBQ in the evening were really nice. Getting out of the parking lot, not so much. We waited over an hour and a half to get out!! Finally, we made it to the hotel. We had reserved a suite. It had a great view, but two double beds in the bedroom instead of one king. The next morning, we went to the Alamo and met Tina and Shannon there. I had asked the front desk for directions to Artisan's Alley, something different to do. Kyle and his dad went to Buckhorn Museum while Tina, Shannon and I followed the hotel directions to Artisan's Alley. Those directions led us to an artist frame shop. Yes, 20 miles out of the way, for nothing. Then, we attempted Market Square, paid $5 for parking. It started raining and since it's an outdoor flea market type of thing, that didn't work. So, we went and met the guys for lunch. After a rest at the hotel, Kyle and I went down to the Riverwalk and did the Riverboat Tour. Then, Kyle and I got a couple's massage at the spa at the top of the hotel. I nice little vacation for the end of the pregnancy.
Cool picture of the Steel Eel with clouds behind it.

That's what a big, fat pregnant woman looks like after being rained on all day and her husband spilling chocolate ice cream on her white tank top.
