Day 5: February 13. Houston to San Antonio, TX

We had a bit of a slow morning and headed over to the Costellos to visit one last time before we headed out. The boys had a great time, with Liam and Jamie playing “stuck in the chocolate” with the pillows downstairs, and hiding in Jamie’s bed together waiting to be discovered. Finn and Connor had more of an independent play experience, and the grown-up got to visit, too.
Finally, it was time to go. The boys had some sandwiches on the road, and Finn took a good two hour nap. Liam rested nicely, and we got into San Antonio around 3pm. After picking up swim trunks for Matt and a little to eat, we all took a swim together at the hotel. Liam is scared silly of getting in too deep, but Finn actually did a little better this time. They both enjoyed “swimming” with me and playing sharks, until Matt got in, and then wanted nothing to do with me.
After cleaning up we went out to see Clint, Kelly, Sabryn, and Shea. The kids didn’t really remember each other, which was sad, but soon they didn’t want to be separated. We ended up going out to dinner kind of late, but the boys behaved amazingly well, and the grown-ups got to talk and visit. We ate some really good Tex-Mex, and then headed back to the hotel.
When we got back, Matt put the boys to bed, and my friend Beth and her boyfriend Bill came over to visit. We hadn’t seen each other in so long, and it was really nice to get the chance to catch up while the boys slept.
Once again, we managed to fit a lot into one day!
