It has been a wonderful 4 years of marriage. We decided to celebrate a full weekend in San Antonio. Hallister was well taken care of. Doesn't Hurt To Ask Take II - I had mentioned to our pediatrician our travel plans and he suggested a restaurant - Rosario's - he loved when living in San Antonio. Before we left I emailed them to see if they took reservations. The owner replied saying no but since it was our anniversary we should ask for "Manny" upon arriving and he would take care of us. (This story is continued later.) We enjoyed an awesome dinner at the Tower of the Americas rotating restaurant Friday evening. We felt sophisticated all dressed up, the food was excellent, and the temperature of the room perfect. (I am usually cold in restaurants.) Saturday we got up early to head to Sea World. The park opened at 9am but we were there at 8am. There was no waiting in line for parking, we already had our tickets so we walked right in, and then we headed to the back of the park where the rides were. I wanted to make sure we got all the rides in we wanted before it got hot and lines got long. Praise God we breezed thru 3 rides that were together with no wait, then went towards the front of the park to stand in line only 30 minutes. After that ride we saw the show Believe with Shamu and then paid way too much for a burger and turkey wrap and one water bottle. Although we did manage to smuggle in some water bottles there were no water fountains. Doesn't Hurt To Ask Take III - Before seeing our next show I got in line with our water bottle and just asked if they could refill it. The lady kindly did for no charge, and it was cold water. We saved $2.89 each time we just refilled it. So we saw two more awesome shows, walked to see dolphins being fed, grabbed a Lemon Chill before leaving the park around 4pm. We got back to the hotel, swam, and then got ready to head to Rosario's. Take II continued - We arrive and see that there is a waiting list but tell the hostess that Manny is supposed to seat us. She pages Manny and up walks a guy dressed in black that could be a bouncer. He asks, "Are you Elizabeth?" I nod and he says, "Follow me." As everyone waiting watches us, we are seated right away with a nice window view. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask. We felt special all night. Our waitress was awesome, made great suggestions, and the food was so delicious. Jonathan called Manny over before we left to thank him and tell him how wonderful everything was. Sunday we were anxious to get home to see Hallister. We had a wonderful, relaxing anniversary trip. Enjoy the pictures!
