San Antonio...

We went to San Antonio to celebrate our first anniversary. We drove down on Friday and stayed at O'Casey's Bed and Breakfast, a cute little Irish place in one of the historic districts. On Saturday we went to Sea World and saw several shows with otters, sea lions, beluga whales, killer whales (not Shamu) and water skiiers. It was really hot, and we got very tired walking around! We had breakfast at the Sharks/Coral reef. Fisher was extremely excited because he was surprised that we were going to have breakfast in a big aquarium! After breakfast we fed the dolphins a couple small paper trays of fish that were slightly larger than sardines. The dolphins were so "soft," mostly I think they were just slick and smooth which made them feel so soft! They were so friendly and cute! We had great Mexican food for dinner, and passed out from exhaustion that night, after a trip to Amy's for ice cream! On Sunday, we slept in and went to the zoo. They had lots of birds and reptiles (snakes, ick). I got easily bored of the birds...especially since the wild herons that stop at the zoo every year made their presence known by "littering" all over the sidewalks and making the zoo very, very smelly. We saw a huge tortoise and we (secretly) fed him leaves from a nearby bush he was nibbling on. He was at least six feet long and three to four feet wide. We don't have any pictures because I forgot to bring batteries with me to the zoo! After this tiring day, we went to dinner at J. Alexander's. A nice, but casual restaurant. Then we went back to the B&B and ate our cake with milk. Yum! It was a nice, relaxing weekend.
