I heart vacation

I heart vacation. Not sure that I heart the Texas heat, but in combination and relatively short duration, the two are excellent. It's hard to think that this trip we have been anxiously awaiting for the last few months is coming to a close. I don't know that I'm entirely sad to go home - I miss the pets, my mom and enjoy my own bed - but sadder is that I likely won't take more than 1 vacation day until Christmas time. But then again, considering how fast the summer went, Xmas will be here in a flash!

Our time here has been filled with lots of relaxation and swimming. Each day begins with breakfast, followed by a swim. Then it gets too hot and we come in for the day. The day then ends with another swim session after dinner, once the sun begins to go down. I firmly believe that after swimming in a 90 degree bath water pool, I will never again complain about pools in Michigan being too cold. Stay tuned for that though.

We went to Sea World San Antonio on Saturday. The theme for the day? HOT AND GRUMPY. I am not a happy person when I am hot. From the minute we left the air conditioned SUV until we hit the wave pool, I was in major grump mood. There were a gazillion people there and it was just HOT. Add to that a 4 year old who wanted everything he wanted and NOW, it was not an easy afternoon. But after we watched the dolphin show & made our way to the waterpark for a few hours, the day got much better. I didn't get to see as much as I had wanted with the gigantic crowds, but hopefully will get to go there again soon...when it's not a Saturday and when it's cooler!

I have other things to write, but it's time for breakfast and a swim, natch. :)
