San Antonio, Texas Weekend!

Well sorry for the late post!  This last week has been crazy!  For starters, we moved out of the Asay's home!  We spent the last week packing up all of our stuff and left it at Josh's coworkers house thankfully or we would have had no place to keep our stuff for the rest of our time in Texas! 




Then off to San Antonio we went! I'll warn you once again there are a ton of pictures! Saturday was our Sea World day.  Josh & I love Sea World!  It was a blast!  Neither of us had been in years or to the one in San Antonio so it was quite the adventure.



Our favorite show was Clyde & Seamore the sea lions.  They were hilarious.  Before the show started they had some comedy entertainment where they dragged Josh and I into the show.  The comedian got Josh a little wet (:





I think I have mentioned this before but everywhere Josh and I go we get a deck of cards as our souvenir because we love to play games! Came extremely handy at Sea World while we waited for all the shows to start we played cards (:



After the Clyde show we went and saw the famous Shamu show front and center.  It was incredible we just can't imagine how in the world you train a killer whale!






Amazing! Really cool stage!



We also saw the pets ahoy show with all the dogs and cats.  Adorable!  Josh still tells me I can't have a puppy haha.



Turns out Sea World has amusement park rides I was not aware of this but here is my favorite ride we went on called Atlantis.  We got soaked it was refreshing!



We also were able to see sharks, dolphins and penguins.  




It was a beautiful day.... until about 6 o'clock when things took a turn for the worse.  Josh and I were so excited to go see the Clyde & Seamoore spoof night show so we got there early and I saved us seats while Josh picked us out dinner
guess who's is who's !
Right when he got back with the food it started pouring rain!! Lots of lightning and thunder and guess what that means.. shows cancelled ):  For a good hour and a half but lucky for us after some fun and games walking around everything turned back on before the park closed for the day!


More shows (:
Look close... they have this giant Sea Lion doing sit ups!!
It was a blast!  Sea world is so much fun.

Sunday Morning we went to church downtown.  What an incredible ward!  Great people!  Very small ward there were only 10 people in relief society!

After church we explored downtown San Antonio.  First we went to the gorgeous river walk!  It's full of shops, restaurants, people and beauty.  Great place to walk around and just take in the view.


Here's the little boats they drive all along the river.  So fun!


Husband & Wife along the river!

We had lunch at a little mexican place along the river we got to watch all the boats go by, wonderful little date.



After the River Walk we headed to the famous Alamo! A pivotal location in the Texas Revolution [we gotta catch up on the history if we are to call ourselves true Texans!].



Along with the Alamo we stood under the "6 Flags over Texas" to represent the 6 countries that have at some time had sovereignty over parts of Texas.  The countries are: Spain, France, America, Mexico, Republic of Texas and the Confederate states of America.  This is where the slogan came for the theme park six flags and many of the other attractions and malls in Texas.  Little bit of history for you!



Wonderful weekend once again.  We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to travel!  We sure have had fun as newlyweds exploring the world.  I flew home to Utah Sunday night and Josh went back to Dallas.  Now we have to be apart for 5 days!  Way too long!  I missed him as soon as I got on the plane but there was no place for me to go in Dallas!  Josh is staying with a friend from our ward while he finishes up his last few days at American.  He presents his final project tomorrow morning.  He is going to do wonderful I am so excited for him!
