San Antonio

Craig left for San Antonio for a work conference on Wednesday.  Thursday he called me and said I'd better bring the kids since they had their own little water park there at the hotel.  So Friday morning we packed up the mini van and high tailed it to the JW Marriott for a mini vacation courtesy of Integrity Title.

The place was incredible.  Could easily give The Disney Grand Hotel a run for their money.
The kids loved that we had our own little balcony.


But that was nothing compared to their pool.

They had four water slides that could rival our local Splashtown.  With life guards catching you at the end and litterally walking your tube over to the stairs for an easy exit.  Each time asking how your trip was and if there was anything they could do to make your stay nicer.
 And, honestly, other than handing me a Smirnoff Ice to enjoy on my way down the slide...
I couldn't think of a thing!


The kids loved the stairwell.  
Being use to Holdiay Inn Express' they'd never seen one this fancy.

After swimming most of the day (all while Daddy was hard at work in his fancy meetings and his fancy dinners) we walked around the property and took some pictures!


(I found this cool 'movie grain' mode on my camera and tried it out)
Then we were invited to join the S'mores campfire on the East lawn and, like, we would really pass that up.
So we headed over and were  handed a stick already loaded with marshmallows.  All the kids had to do was roast them, then they took them back and the staff stacked the s'mores and handed them back with a napkin and a glass a water. 
Yep, it was pretty cool!

After we got back to the room, Chloe just had to use their robe.
We can't wait till Craig's next conference!
