Started off Saturday headed to my moms. Marcus was super excited to see Granny since it had been since July 4th. Lots of new things to show and talk with Granny about. Plus he was looking forward to some "Superhero" talk with Papa Joe and Uncle Micheal.
We managed to squeeze in a little ghost town and some end of the summer swimming. I even took an afternoon nap...that is not an often occurrence :) Dinner at a small country owned place with awesome catfish and fried pickles!!!
Sunday I got to sleep in and got a great surprise from my honey - an opportunity to sneak away to San Antonio for just some "us" time! It was a WIN-WIN for us and for my mom and Marcus. Shouldn't every grandson have some quality alone time with his granny? I totally think so!
So off to SA I went!!!
We had a great lunch complete with offering the leftovers to a homeless guy...my guy is so generous! Followed up with some hotel relaxation then got ready for the night out. Headed downtown to take in Ripley's Haunted House....left scared shitless!!! Wax museum, Guiness World Records Museum, Alamo, Riverwalk, and topped off the nite at a bar! We had a great time just walking around and hanging out together. Little mini-vaca...definitely need a longer one together now!
Headed back home Monday, stopped to pick up Marcus and then the long drive home. Holiday weekends are great until you get to the drive home. Add some off and on rain, with "lovely" Texas drivers [please note sarcasm] and a 3 hour trip takes 4.5 hours. Thank goodness Marcus was in a much better mood today - we had lots to talk about since we hadn't seen each other in 24 hours. I got both earfuls! lol
Home, somewhat unpacked, in bed and geared up for a short week!
Hope everyone had a great well deserved rested holiday weekend too.
Sounds like you and Marcus both had a great weekend away!
