Danielle's Visit to San Antonio~

Last weekend Danielle visited San Antonio. Each day was full of fun activities! Friday night we visited the Charles Dickens Christmas event at Bracken Village. I love the Santa Claus at Bracken Village, he's fancy.

After Bracken Village we made a HUGE pot of vegetable soup. I had no idea it was going to make this much. Danielle and I ate the veggie soup for about three meals and I still have enough to feed 20 people.

Saturday morning we went to my mom's house for Danielle's sewing lesson. I decided to make lunch while they worked on a throw pillow slip cover. I'm still working on my tote bags from Thanksgiving. Someday I'll have a finished product. :(

I made a Christmas tree shaped veggie pizza (but it's not really a pizza)

Saturday night we had Mexican food on the Riverwalk and took a boat ride. Danielle got the see the Alamo. It's a bit anti-climatic but worth a photo. Danielle asked me about the purpose and meaning behind the Alamo. Hmmm... so bad. I really didn't know much about it or care. So much for that Texas history class I took in high school. However, I was able to tell her about the maintenance guy at Rivercenter mall seeing the ghost of Mexican solider one night.

Sunday after church we went to SeaWorld. Sunday was a great day to go; the weather was perfect and it wasn't crowded. We got to ride the 2 big roller coasters THREE times each with no wait!

Christmas Cheer at SeaWorld

The Dolphins were so cute.

My friend, Leslie, works at SeaWorld as one of the Shamu trainers. Leslie took Danielle and me backstage to "meet" the whale. We got to touch him and ask Leslie questions.

Leslie has the most fascinating job and she's one the nicest people I've ever met.

I've know Leslie for about 8-9 years. We have talked and talked about her job & the whales but I haven't been to SeaWorld since I was a kid. Sunday was SO fun. When the show started and Leslie ran out on the stage, I cried a little. Yep, I cried. She is just incredible! My favorite part was when Leslie dove off Shamu's nose! It was magical!
