Can I take him home with me to cuddle with FOREVER???

That was ALL SO MUCH FUN!!! When is our next trip???

Okay so this is our 2nd road trip with Jaxton so it made it a lot easier knowing what we needed to take this time....you would think we would take LESS but it seemed like MORE...we even had to buy a microwave (which we FORGOT at the hotel )to take with us to heat up Jaxton's food this time because they didn't have any available...so you can probably picture what our truck looked like loaded up..HA!! To start our trip off I was so excited that morning and running around finishing up some last minute packing and putting some stuff into the back of the truck. (Which was still in the garage but I had the tailgate open.) I went to open up the other garage door and hit the wrong button and all I heard next was CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH.... the OTHER garage door was trying to close on the truck tailgate....I did the OMG dance and ran in tell Ross what I did before I assessed the damage and THANK GOD it only broke off a little piece of the rear window windshield wiper...WHEW!!! After that...I SLOWED DOWN!!!

So we were finally on the road and I do my usual thing for Jaxton to get him to go to sleep in the truck....I play my Kenny Chesney CD on song # 2 & 3 OVER and OVER until his little eyes close and then I continue to play the CD on a few more songs on the SAME CD while he sleeps....it is such relaxing music that he sleeps for a long time BUT I think Ross wanted to throw the CD out of the window by the time our trip was over ( I did this on our last trip too....LOL)...so Ross should have learned and brought his George Strait CD but didn't so he had to suffer!!! We made it there and Ross played golf with his friend Toby from college and Jaxton and I toured the hotel then we all met up for dinner and Jaxton couldn't get enough of Toby...he even laid in his arms for awhile!!! Sometime that night ( which we did NOT hear any of it BUT saw it on the morning news the next morning ) a man was either PUSHED off or JUMPED off the 6th floor of OUR hotel and OUR floor and was still in critical condition!! Holy Cow!! Never got the whole story from the hotel either BUT SCARY!!!

On Friday we played in the pools all day and Jaxton had a blast...he even wanted to go under the waterfall!!! He definitely has NO FEAR of the water!! That night we went to the Rock Quarry ( sp??) and ate at my FAVORITE restaurant in San Antonio...Paesano's!!!! YUM YUM YUM!!! I even have their secret recipe for their Shrimp Paesano!! Jaxton still won't sleep in his Pack'n Play which I wouldn't blame him since he is almost too big for it and probably feels confined in it so we had 2 double beds in the room and we pushed one up against the wall and lined it with pillows and I slept on the other side to keep him from falling out. BUT each night he would look over me at Ross and play peek-a-boo until he wore himself out and fell asleep...it was so precious...PLUS waking up next to him is even better!!

On Saturday I had the BEST massage EVER..it was a TRUE sports massage!! If you had been in the room with me though you would of thought I was doing aerobics on the massage table!! But it was worth!! We headed down to the pool once more for awhile and then went down to the Riverwalk and had dinner. Jaxton was COMPLETELY entertained by the pigeons so I had no problem getting him to eat ALL his dinner..BUT it was too hot so we headed back to the hotel after dinner. Just as we thought our night was over and we were dreaming away...the HOTEL FIRE ALARM goes off at 4 AM and we had to EVACUATE!! We all ran down the fire stairs out to the pool area waiting to see what this was all about. Jaxton was ALL SMILES and thought we were just doing something FUN late at night...poor little guy!! He didn't even get scared of the LOUD fire alarms going off!! Many people had the hotel robes on and I can only imagine what they had on underneath...OR NOT!! They finally told us a DRUNK MAN pulled the alarm and to go back to sleep...YEA RIGHT!!! An 8 month old going back to sleep??!! But to our surprise about 30 minutes later he did and we all slept until 7:15!!

So Sunday was here and before we headed back we took Jaxton to see a bunch of animals at an event at the hotel called Zoomagination...they rescue animals from people and from the wild and teach at all kinds of places...Jaxton even got to pet a baby kangaroo!!! Then it was time to get back on the road again with Kenney!!!
