We went on our first family vacation last weekend. We drove down to San Antonio, which is normally about a four hour drive, but when you're traveling with three kids it takes a little longer. I think we made it in five and a half hours. The kids actually did really well (with a little help from the Nintendo DS).
When we got there, we checked in to our hotel and headed to the famous San Antonio Riverwalk. The kids LOVED it!!! We walked along the river for a while and checked out all the neat little shops, and the girls bought a few little souvenirs. Then we took a boat tour and got to learn some history about the river and all the buildings around it.
We also visited the Alamo. Olivia really enjoyed actually being in a place that she learned about in her history book.
We ended our first day at the Rain Forest Cafe for what we thought was going to be a nice dinner and fun experience for the kids. Boy were we WRONG!! Every ten minutes the animals all over the restaurant come to life, and every thirty minutes there is a thunder and lightening storm. Ashleigh was TERRIFIED!! She covered her eyes and cried the entire time. Needless to say, we will NEVER go back.

I never thought about the Rainforest being scary, but I'm not a little girl. Bummer. Sounds like the rest was fun.
