Vacation

We had the chance to go to Galveston, Texas for vacation this year. Brad's dad lives there now so we went to spend the week with him. While we were that way, we decided to drive to San Antonio to Sea World. Todd loves sharks and water animals so we thought it would be fun. He LOVED it. We got there at 10:00 and did not leave until nearly 6:00. It was very hot but that did not keep him from walking all over the park. He loved the shows. We were one of a few select families that got our picture taken with Shamu. That was amazing to see the whales interact with their trainers! Todd also got to feed dolphins and sea lions. He thought that was really neat, too.

There was only one part he did not like. He thought he wanted to ride the log ride that was 6 stories tall. We tried to convince him otherwise, but he insisted he would like it. We decided that we would not know if he liked it if we did not give it a try (afterall, Brad and I would ride rollercoasters for a living). Well, he loved going up and hated coming down. After the first drop, he was crying and his heart pounding. There was nothing we could do, so he had to endure the last drop. Let's just say, he may never ride a log ride again!

It was nice to relax and spend time with family. It was something Brad really needed and deserved! Todd and I are so grateful that he works so hard in a job that is so difficult so that I can stay home!
