San Antonio Trip

We surprised the kids with a trip to San Antonio this weekend to see cousins!  We headed out Friday morning and finally had to tell them where we were going, it was killing Jonah.  This is the boy who does NOT like surprises.  He has to know exactly where we are going and if there will be any other stops in between.

It is a given that Luke is GOING TO PUKE at some point during the trip so this momma is always prepared.  We made it about two hours out of town before he started this trip.  I had crawled in the back seat to feed The Hulk and about that time I hear, "mooooommmmmm" look up and Luke had  grabbed the "puke bag" aka a ziplock filled with paper towels.  The Hulk is screaming because he wants more food, I am trying not to start vomiting as I am holding the warm vomit bag so it does not spill and Justin is telling me to look at these cool houses!  REALLY dude... I am a little busy back here :)

Once the vomit stopped and The Hulk was fed I crawled back into the front seat and got situated.  It was then time for lunch.  We stopped at McDonalds so we could grab it and eat in the car.  As we are pulling out I am passing out food, Justin starts eating and we are back on the road... little did we know that we were not on the right road.  WHAT WHAT?  I am looking at the map and telling Justin something is not right.  The map had changed somehow and we were NOT going the right way.  We see a sign and we have NO idea how we even ended up on this road, according to the map we had somehow taken a hard left.  There was NO way, we never stopped going straight.  We pull over and look at the map and finally figure out where to go to get back on track.

We call mom and dad and they tell us that in Lampasses is where the turnoff is to stay on the highway we wanted.  OF COURSE IT IS, that is where we pulled out of McCRAP and NEVER saw the sign telling us that we had to turn right!  So that was about a 30 minute oops.

We finally make it and of course the boys run upstairs to play the XBox.  I am not sure they ever got off of it either.  I pretty much did not see them all weekend.  Stef wanted some family pictures taken so Justin grabbed the camera and they went up the road and got some great shots... even if all four kids were gripping.  My motto is, "Hate me now, thank me later"! HA

Stef had to work Saturday morning so Mimi, Chloe, Sophia and I went shopping.  Lets just say we did more driving than we did shopping.  The construction was horrible and there are NO street signs anywhere and our navigator (Chloe) kept telling us we were going the right way... lets just say, we were NOT going the right way.

Thanks for having us!  We had a great time.  Oh, and the ride home was much less eventful, no wrong turns and no vomit!  Just a couple of meltdowns from The Hulk.
