We have had a busy couple of days here in San Antonio. We arrived Wednesday evening.
Thursday we went to Tower of the Americas, did the River Boat Cruise and then walked along the River Walk. We had lunch at the Rain Forest Café. That was the first time all the kiddos had eaten there, they thought it was pretty cool!
Friday we drove to Seguin for some more Burnt Bean. It was so good! Then we stopped at the Alamo on our way back ‘home’.
Saturday we met my cousin Jasmine and Jon in Austin. It was so cold that day! (Like 40 and windy) They showed us around. We went to see the first book ever printed: The Gutenberg Bible. (150 were printed and this was one of them.) We also got to see the first photograph. Then we headed to the State Capitol Building. On our way back to the vehicles we stopped for ice cream (because you never say no to ice cream- even when it’s 40 degrees outside! Haha!)
Sunday we took the kids to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. That was a lot of fun! We did the guided drive through safari. They also had an aviary where you can feed the birds. And a fun dinosaur exhibit.
We purposely found an AirBnB with fun things to do right at the house. The place we are staying at has a pool, foosball table, and a 2 player arcade gaming system with like pac man and various other games (412 games to be exact!) We wanted some fun things for the kids to do without having to leave the house just in case I didn’t feel like doing anything after. I think about every night the kids have spent some time in the pool. Even when it’s 40 degrees outside! (thankfully it’s heated)
My surgery prep starts tonight. I have to drink one of my preop surgery drinks. Take a shower with the hibiclens. And then nothing to eat or drink after midnight. Tomorrow I need to take another shower using the hibiclens and drink the 2nd clear fast and take a Celebrex. I have to be at the hospital at 8 am. My surgery is scheduled to start at 10 am and Dr. Nastala has 3.5 hours blocked off for me.
Thank you so much for your continued prayers!
