San Antonio Day 1

We were blessed today, even more then usual. We traveled to San Antonio safely. We get to have an awesome vacation with just the three of us thanks to huge discounts and free tickets from the World Passport that Wish Kids have for a year after their Make a Wish Trip. And we got to go to a really special park with some really special people! 

After a departure before the sun came up, a 3 hour drive that the girls did great on because we were all crying while watching the movie Wonder, and a stop at Buccees of course, our vacay was finally in full swing. This all came together because we wanted to go to Morgans Wonderland with some great friends. Morgan’s Wonderland is a small amusement park/park that is geared towards special needs children in San Antonio. We were able to go with 3 other families of Riley’s best friends! Keags and Rys plus Alessandro and Franchesca, Noah and Phoebe and Tristan are one darling bunch of kids! And they all have total warrior parents that are fighting the good fight everyday and killing this special needs parenting thing! It’s a blessing to call them all friends!

We played on the awesome accessible playgrounds, drove the cars, rode the carousel and the train twice, played in the musical garden and sand pits, met Joy the parks mascot and watched a great flying canine show! All three of us had a blast but I’m pretty sure Riley’s heart just about burst to be there with so many of the people she loves! There was a special spirit about that place and we will definitely be back, hopefully when the water park section is open as well!

After we parted ways with all our great friends, we went to lunch at the Alamo Cafe where we watched our tortillas made fresh right in front of us! Pretty cool! Then it was on to check into our amazing hotel, Drury Inn and Suites right on the Riverwalk! It is a super old building that was renovated to hold a great hotel with a great room, and breakfast and dinner for free! Hard to beat that! Plus who doesn’t love a lobby photo booth?

After checking in we headed straight to the Riverwalk and just couldn’t avoid the classic boat tour. It was as fun as I remembered from back in high school, which was the last time I was here, so forever ago. We loved the tour, the sights, the history, the people watching and the music! 

After exploring and a jam packed day, we were tired so we took our free hotel dinner to our room for a picnic! We spent the rest of the night playing office with the desk and phone, people watching down at the Riverwalk out our window, and making lots of silly jumping on the bed videos! There was lots and lots of giggles coming from room our tonight! 

I don’t believe in luck, I believe in blessings. And I’m very grateful for the ones we recieved today that have all lead to beautiful memories made! Now it’s time for bed because tomorrow has a whole new set waiting for us! Six Flags we are coming for ya!
