San Antonio

I had a convention in San Antonio for work so we decided to make use of a free flight I had and Cohen's last time being able to fly for free and have them come down for the weekend.
Their flight got delayed in Denver so their already late flight was even later getting in and they were both SO tired when they got to the hotel. 
 The next day we got up early and headed to Sea World
 A lot of the resort is Sesame Street themed so it was fun for Cohen to see these guys all over
 we got him changed into his swim clothes and let him play at the waterpark
 he loved splashing especially since it was so hot out!  (102 degrees!!)
 then we rode the carousel
 he would get so excited and wave at Sam every time around...he didn't understand that there was no train though because when he rides at the zoo he then gets off and goes to ride the train
 we got dressed again and watched a little show...Cohen was a little skeptical
 if we were hot these poor folks must have been dying dancing around in these!

 Grover, mom and a not so sure Cohen
 Abby and a little more brave Cohen
 he then climbed to the top of the climbing structure with dad
 and then gave high fives (or low fives as the case may be) to Zoe...MUCH more brave
 but still not too sure
 we then went to a Sesame Street show
 then the killer whale show
 where Cohen had a bit of a smoothie which left a smoothie mustache
 Cohen loved watching the show
 and the lights

 we only did a little over a half day so we could head back to the hotel and let Cohen take a nap so we could enjoy the night as well
 we did a boat tour all through the Riverwalk area
 saw lots of lights and restaurants
 and the moon
 sometimes boat rides are so long you need a bit of a snack
 but then you get gelato after and that is GREAT
 look at these amazing carmel apples
 the Alamo
 right on this corner the horse drawn buggies go by over and over and they are covered in lights so Cohen would point out every one that went around
 it is so funny to get to sleep in the same bed as mom and dad
 good thing we completely wore him out during the day!
 day 2 we headed back to Sea World for the morning
 he loved watching the dolphins up close
 they were jumping and playing all over the tank

 then we went into the aquarium
 which he also loved...those tanks are mesmorizing
 back to the carousel
 and the fancy show Azul where they had all kinds of divers
 Cohen now makes some little guys in his bath tub dive like the divers at the show
 then a little more fun in the water to cool down before getting back in the car

 which worked well beause he was sound asleep by the time we got to the rental car return
 but woke up enough to take off
then was sound asleep the whole way home...it is tough those days in the hot hot sun!
