Thanksgiving and best water pressure ever




Jen and I enjoyed Thanksgiving in San Antonio right next to the Alamo. If you go left out of our hotel is the Alamo and on the right is a Mall so we're all set.




For our Thanksgiving dinner we ate at the Food Court-mmmm.




Then we walked around the River Walk. Jenna absolutely loved the Mariachi Band here which makes me think she somehow inherited my love of off the chart music.




The Menger Hotel where we are staying was bulit in 1859 and is allegedly haunted. Jenna has been really hoping to see a ghost while we're here although the other day she stayed in the room while I went to get an Iced Tea and she heard a noise in the bathroom and called me in a horrible panic. I thought it might be the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt but it was just the shower curtain that fell.




Today we're going to see 'Haunted Castle 3D' at the IMAX next door.




Showering here is a real treat-the water pressure is just a tad higher than a fire hose. Blasted any dirt right off of me and into the next county.




Not as great as being at home for Thanksgiving but all in all a pretty good second!

Back to blogging

Finally, after a few months off due to working a ton of hours here in Houston I was able this evening to catch up on Eric and Linda's blogs. Sorry Annie, I'll catch up on yours this week! Looks like I've been missing a lot of excitement.

I also have been scrapbooking my little heart out here in Texas so lotta new stuff to see when I get back up North.

Which is a sore subject by the way since me and Jenna aren't going home for Thanksgiving this year.....not enough time. I can't take Jenna out of school and I don't want to fly home during the incredibly crazy travel times. So I end up homesick. But that's OK, I'll make up for it by being crabby at work:-)

Well I'm sure I'll blog with pix when Jenna and I go to San Antonio for Thanksgiving. We're going to the Haunted Menger Hotel and we have tickets for the Haunted San Antonio tour on Saturday. So we'll give a shout out to the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt which appears frequently at the bar at the Menger Hotel. (According to Ghost Hunters on TV as well as drunk patrons who apprently see him more the more they drink.)
