Last Thursday, my two best friends and I braved the spring break/SXSW traffic and met in San Antonio for our annual Girls' Weekend. This year we started the weekend off with a Bon Jovi concert! It doesn't get much better than that (except for the 2 hour wait for a cab after the concert that totally ruined the party mood). The concert was awesome!!! They played all the greats; "Livin' on a Prayer", "I'll be There For You", my personal favorite "Bad Medicine" and of course you can't have a Bon Jovi concert without Richie and "Wanted: Dead or Alive".
our self portrait
Ashley and I were pretty amused by the signs at the AT&T Center...We loved that even the little baby had spurs on.
On Friday, all the husbands and kids arrived (I am thinking that this is not going to be a regular event during Girls' Weekend). The kids had the best time just being at the HO-tail (as Lila calls it). There are so many things they loved about the hotel...like
laying in bed and watching movies
watching more movies in bed
Eating snacks in bed
Reading the Bible
watching more movies
wrestling
We stayed at a great place in downtown San Antonio, and we were able to walk everywhere. They had a huge dining area with 2 large TVs, and they let us pretty much take over that space, so we were able to spread out, watch the NCAA tournaments and let the kids run.
On Saturday, we went on one of the Riverwalk barges
In the afternoon, we went to Sea World
We saw the Shamu show; I am not sure if the adults or kids enjoyed it more
We caught a Sesame Street show which was really cute.
And...the sharks. The girls could not wait to see the sharks, and they were very impressed
This guy was really cute...he just kept sliding back and forth. He was definitely a crowd favorite.
When we got back to the hotel, I asked Lila what her favorite part of Sea World was, and she said "the train" (What?! There was no train)
This is for Grant...I got this picture emailed to me on the way back from Sea World and the title was "After Sea World Dinner"; it is comforting to know that some things will never change.
