Early Easter

The Kellers had an early easter egg hunt this year because it happened that all of the family was in town for a wedding. It was fun to get to spend some time with the cousins. I enjoyed seeing them playing and getting to know each other. Can't say that I have loved all the candy, but the party was fun.

Breakdown

So we pulled over near Ozona Texas and the car just didn't sound right. It was "riding rough", no other way to explain it so we stopped at a truck shop and the owner said that he would be happy to look at it. Nearly 5 hours later we were back on the road with a prayer to get us home. The horrible sound never went away and now that we are home we have found out that our TrailBlazer will be a bit better in about another week and 1600 dollars later. What a trip. Actually not sure how the car made it home. We are sure that Heavenly Father really did not want to see us stranded on the highway. The people in Ozona were quite friendly and we appreciated them letting us use their break room to sleep and watch cartoons. Always a story with us-it wouldn't be right to just have a great trip, free of any problems.

we finally made it home. What a rough couple days in the car. It was a wonderful trip, despite the delay.

Hard to say Goodbye

The night before we left we had a BBQ at my Aunt Nora's home. I have loved that home and every time we came upon it, I felt a peace rush over me as I spotted it. My Aunt now lives in the home that used to belong to my Grandpa and Grandma. Mama and Papa as I called them. I miss them so much as I am remembering all the trips and memories that were spent in Texas. Their home was like a magical castle and I loved the intricate maze of rooms. It was not grand in appearance or maintenance. Actually it deteriorated from visit to visit, but I loved that home. I loved the people that greeted me at the door and offered their home to us. I loved my Grandma's noodles and the cheez whiz she had waiting for me. I loved the music playing and the smile on my Grandpa's face. I loved the smell and the warmth. I still can feel it. I am grateful for the experiences that I have had and grateful for the simple memories that I will always cherish of my beautiful Contreras family.

River Walk

Another enjoyable part of the trip was all the delicious food. We had the best fajitas at Tink a Taco and the best Hamburgers at Chris Madrid's. Definitely Recommend them both. It is difficult to explain my love for San Antonio. Wouldn't necessarily want to live there, due to the heat, but I always love the energy and feeling that I get when I visit. The food tastes better, the colors are brighter and relaxing never felt better. Of course I only go there when I am on vacation and that freedom from life's stress does make a difference. Regardless, I loved our trip.

Six Flags

Second attempt at trying to get some pictures on here from the trip. We spent Spring Break in Texas this year. It was such a relaxing and enjoyable journey. Little setback on the way home, but great none the less. The weather was perfect, just warm enough. We were able to swim, shop, eat and play all at our leisure. I forgot about work the minute we started driving and enjoyed every second of the trip.
