We took a road trip. Before we left I downloaded all the Disney Princess tunes I could find. Audrey loved singing as loud as should could to every single one. I love that she's old enough to sing along. Paul was probably thinking that it's about time we have another man around, but he loves his girls. We got there late at night. Audrey was confused about the whole sleeping in a hotel thing, but it didn't take long before she got used to that big queen sized bed.
While we were there we visited a lot with Paul's brother. It was really nice to have him around. I think Audrey knows her uncle Grant more than any of her aunts and uncles. He takes road trips out here all the time. She loves him. She was so excited to spend time with him. I wish I could have captured it in pictures. We went to see the Alamo, walked the river walk, went to a vintage store, and ate some surprisingly good pizza at Rita's pizza. I say surprisingly good because we walked in at noon and no one was there. We thought for sure something had to be wrong with the place, but it was really good. We managed to eat the entire massive pizza in one siting. Later in the day Grant took us to an indoor go-cart race track. I was a little nervous I have never done anything like it. It ended out being so fun! I kept finding rubber on my pants and in my pockets. Bucket list....check.
The next day we went to church with Grant and visited with my cousin Cindi. I don't know Cindi very well. She's older than me and has always lived pretty far away so I never really got to know her. It was such a great experience. I hope to visit more. She inspired me in so many ways. Her two little girls are beautiful, kind, and so well mannered. Her home is beautiful and her neighborhood make me want to lived there. Don't be surprised if you find me in San Antonio someday.
On Monday we went to the Schlitterbahn. It's a pretty amazing water park. If I lived closer I would probably buy season passes. Audrey loved all of it. She was always braver than I expected her to be. When we went to leave she cried because she didn't want to leave and then she fell asleep in my arms while we headed out to the car.
I don't want to admit my stupidity, but for memory sake here goes. after leaving schlitterbahn
I was feeling claustrophobic and my wristband could not come off soon enough. I grabbed a pen and stuck it in one of the holes and yanked. The pen went into my eye....awesome. I thought I had just bruised it and that I was going to be fine until Paul told me that my tears were bloody. We went to the instacare and found out that I lacerated the white part of my eye and scratched my cornea. I couldn't open both of my eyes without being in pain. It was a good thing it happened at the end of our trip. We went to bed that night and in the morning Paul packed us up. It was probably the most painful trip home. Thankfully after a couple of days and a couple more trips to the eye doctor, it was looking so much better. My eye wasn't solid red anymore and the pain was minimal. I'm so grateful I still have an eye. It's still blurry, but that's supposed to go away with time.
Despite my eye, I really enjoyed our trip. I was so grateful that Paul was able to take time off and take time to do somethings that he enjoyed. Happy Birthday Babe!

Glad you had a good trip other than the eye. Sorry it happened and hope it heals quickly and completely.
