We took a Spring Break trip this year! It will probably be our last spring break trip as next year, Nathan will be in high school and will have sports during break.
Here's our current map of the states we've visited. The only new state we got this trip was Texas! We did spend a LOT of time in Texas too!
The day we were supposed to leave, Elizabeth woke up with a fever and sore throat. She had to miss school that day and had to miss her orchestra concert that night. It did mean we could leave earlier in the day to head to Seattle on Thursday night for our Friday morning flight. We did 2 covid tests on her and they were negative. I brought extra tests with us just to check. Here she was in the car on our way over to Seattle. Not feeling good that day. We spent the night in Kent and then Friday morning, made our way to the car parking place and then took a shuttle to the airport.
At the airport, there was a big ugly W! Luckily, we had the solution.
We got very lucky that morning. The Alaska Air pilots were picketing and they had cancelled like 40 flights out of Seatac that morning alone. Ours was on time! We flew directly to San Antonio. It was a 4 hour flight but we got there in 3.5 hours due to a tailwind!

When we stepped off the plane, it was 86 degrees and felt very nice. We got our rental car and drove straight to the Alamo. We got there a little after 5, so the tours were closed for inside. We got to walk around outside instead.
We then headed down to walk around the Riverwalk. That was nice after a long flight!
We then drove to our hotel on the south end of San Antonio. We had a view of the pool and the kids wanted to jump from there. They did not. It was a loud night as there was a team of sports kids there who did not know how to be quiet.
