Yesterday Andrew and I took a short trip to San Antonio to go to Fiesta Texas. It was an absolutely perfect day to spend time at an amusement park. The day started off slowly. I got ready and then coaxed Andrew out of bed. We drove through Krispy Kreme for a little breakfast (disgusting I know) for ourselves and my parents since they would be hanging out with Tessa for the day. We made it to my parents but Andrew was driving like a psycho and in a rather grumpy mood. We made it to San Antonio without trouble and by the time we got to the park Andrew's mood had taken a turn for the better. He took his Dramamine (motion sickness) and we made our way into the park. I'll interrupt the track I was on to tell you that Andrew has problems when it comes to roller coasters. He doesn't like them ever since an incident on Mr. Freeze which caused him to empty his stomach. That was years ago, and helped me understand his foul mood yesterday morning. We started slow on a family type coaster. He fell in love. Every single picture taken of him on a roller coaster showed him grinning from ear to ear I on the other hand looked like I was holding on for dear life. What happened to the girl who lived for roller coasters? I had fun but my (limited to begin with) daring nature seemed to have disappeared. However it was completely worth it to see Andrew fall in love. He's still not ready for tight twisty coasters such as the Poltergeist, but he's getting there. Oh man. It was SUCH a fun day. My back started hurting so we left but it was a great time. Andrew was all the more happy to have been at Fiesta because he got to play his basketball game, but on an even larger scale. He was the baller of the whole group playing and was really getting into it. If only it hadn't cost 10 dollars per round, hehe.
On the way into and out of San Antonio my little consumer happy heart beat happily. The amount of shopping areas and different restaurants drove me into near delirium. It is a bit sick how much I love to shop, and San Antonio reminded me of that. If I had to leave Austin for some reason I would happily move to San Antonio. In fact, I would really like to plan a weekend getaway there. Maybe do some Christmas shopping if you know what I mean.
In other recent news I've been reading "Song Yet Sung" by James McBride who wrote one of my all time favorite books. I'm about to be all read up as far as different issues relating to this year's HUGE election so I can vote early. Other than that I think I'm about to start volunteering in the children's ministry for church.
My one suggestion for all at this moment is to be sure to vote!!
