Every year we go on vacation Memorial weekend. This year we decided to go to San Antonio, Texas for 10 days. We left on Friday, May 26 and were scheduled to come home Sunday, June 4. The vacation didn't go as well as we thought it would. Saturday morning we ate breakfast at the hotel (a full breakfast came with the price). Shortly after that I was as sick as a dog and my oldest son started feeling bad also. The only thing that we had that no one else had was milk, so I stayed away from the milk for the rest of the stay.

The problems didn't stop there though. After staying in the room all day Sat we decided to go out site seeing on Sun. We went to the Alamo which I thought would be cool since we had just studied about it. The problem I had with it was that I am not a visualist so I couldn't picture how things looked back then. So may not think that is a problem but I was hoping that seeing the Alamo would help connect things in my mind. I thought my oldest would get a bigger kick out of it also but it didn't seem as if he did. I was still cool to be there.

We did a couple more things before coming home despite the fact that both my boys were so sick that we had to take them to an emergency care center in Corpus Christi. They both had bad ear infections and we so miserable. We got them care and some meds and tried to make the best of the rest of the vacation.

We went horseback riding, got to pet wild animals (zebras, deer, and ostrich) at the Wildlife Ranch and we went to the worlds largest water park the Schlitterbahn. We finally came home on June 4 and I am still trying to get the boys well. I took them to their own doctor yesterday and they both still have ear infections and are still on meds.

I think next year we will skip the big vacation and stay in Chicago and do some things the boys have never done. Maybe we will just take some day trips. Then the year after that we will go somewhere big like Thailand or on a cruise somewhere.
