San Antonio (twice)

For Tyson's birthday last September I gave him tickets for him and I to go see Wicked. It was going to be in San Antonio and he has been wanting to go for a while! We got a hotel room for the night! We dressed up and went down to the Riverwalk and had a super yummy steak dinner (Ty's choice)
We went to the theater and Ty was beside himself. It is quite old and has a neat history. (google it and read about it!) Our hotel room was right across the street so we had a fun view. One of Ty's favorite things about the theater was the elevator. There was an attendant in there and he had to hand crank it up and down! Tyson absolutely loved Wicked...you couldn't wipe the smile from his face and he talked about it non-stop for days and days!

The next morning Tyson and I went down to the Riverwalk and walked around to sightsee and then went to a little cafe and had breakfast. We walked all around downtown and went to see the Alamo! Ty had been so anxious to go. As we walked up to it he turned to me and said "Mom, I can't believe I am actually here!"

My mom and dad came to visit from Seattle for the week in March. It was such a fun visit! We spent the day in San Antonio. We had so much fun I kept forgetting to get my camera out! Here are just a couple of pics though....

Kyler finally met Bumblebee! (well the wax figure at least!)
