Spring Break 2009

So, my Spring Break was very eventful and full of enjoyment. It started on Friday March 6 and ends on Tuesday March 17 only because I don't have school on Monday or Tuesday! Anyways, here is how my Spring Break played out!

On Friday March 6, Ashley, Duane, and I met Mike at work so we could leave for LaMarque. We were staying the night in LaMarque because Ashley and I had a middle school teacher conference to attend on Saturday. We ate dinner at Spaghetti Warehouse in Downtown Houston and then headed to the hotel and played dominoes.

On Saturday March 7, the boys dropped us off at the conference which was held at the Galveston Convention Center. While we were at the conference the boys hung out on the beach. They then came and got us for lunch, which we went and ate at The Spot. The conference was extremely fun and I can't wait to attend more! Anyways, on our way home we saw 5 Buc-ee's in one town. That's a little ridiculous. When we returned to Spring, we all chatted with my parents for a little bit then Ashley left to go to her mom's. After she left, we chatted for a little bit longer then Duane, Mike, and I headed to Norton's in Willowbrook. That night Duane spent the night with us in Magnolia.

On Sunday March 8, we went to Katy. I was so bored, that I did a lot of homework. The boys were working on Duane's truck!

On Monday March 9, Mike and I headed out on our trip to San Antonio. We stopped in Gruene, TX where we went to Gruene Hall so that Mike could have a beer, then we walked around and shopped in the Gruene Historic District. After we shopped, we ate dinner at the Gristmill River Restaurant and then went on a scenic drive to Canyon Lake. After this scenic drive, we decided to stop at the Best Western Hill Country Suites in San Antonio for the night.

On Tuesday March 10, we woke up and went to SeaWorld. We went and saw a lot of shows, which were amazing and then shopped around at SeaWorld, where I got a shirt! We were walking around SeaWorld towards the end of our journey there and I heard someone call my name. I turned around and it was the little high school girl that I tutored. They said that they were talking about how they liked my shorts and then the girl's aunt was like that looks like Robin. All they saw was my back side lol. Anyways, after we left there, we went and got Mike's hair cut at Sports Clips in San Antonio then decided to go eat dinner at Red Lobster. After eating dinner, we headed towards Fredericksburg, TX. On the way to Fredericksburg, we drove through Blanco to get to Luckenbach, TX, where we stopped for Mike to have another beer. That night we stayed at Super 8 in Fredericksburg. We got to the hotel around 7 and decided it was too early to just sit in the hotel, so we decided to go window shopping.

On Wednesday March 11, we went shopping in Fredericksburg, while it was raining and cold! After that we drove out to Chisolm Trail winery to find out that it was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. How retarded is that? Anyways, we decided to go back to Fredericksburg to take some pictures. On the way into Fredericksburg, we stopped at Fredericksburg winery and ended up buying two bottles of wine and two wine glasses. We also got our winery passports! Anyways, we then headed towards Johnson City and on the way we stopped at the following winerys:
Grape Creek Vineyards (Fredericksburg, TX)
Becker Vineyards (Fredericksburg, TX)
Woodrose Winery (Stonewall, TX)

This was an extremely fun trip and it was even better being with the man I love. Thank god he decided to take off the whole week to be with me!

Anyways, today is just a relaxing day. We didn't get home until 10:30 pm yesterday so we are pretty exhausted. I am doing some more homework and he is playing xbox!

Tomorrow we are going to the DMV to take care of some business and then heading up to Huntsville to place a tshirt order. After that we are heading to Spring to cook some cornbread dinner and have family game night with my parents and brother and sister-in-law. And then on Saturday and Sunday, we get to see Aimee, Gary, and Baby Grant!

That is how my Spring Break went this year and I totally loved every minute of it!

This weekend's Fun!

Well, I attended my very first middle school teacher's conference. It was held at the San Luis Convention Center in Galveston, TX. My friend Ashley and I went to the conference but Mike and Duane went with us to Galveston and they hung out together while we were busy. It was extremely fun and I will definitely look forward to going to more conferences like this.

I got a lot of free stuff and some awesome ideas. Some sessions were geared toward math while others were geared towards other school subjects.

Anyways, at least now I dont have to do one of my assignments for methods because I attended this conference while also having fun.

After the conference, we ate lunch with Duane and Mike and then went and hung out on the beach. Needless to say, we tried to buy sunscreen at a gas station on the west side of the island but what kind of store on an island with a beach doesnt sell this product? On that note, we all got burnt in the face but oh well we all had some major fun!

On our way home, we thought we would just take the bridge to surf side and go home 288 but we didnt know that most of the bridge was washed away from hurricane Ike. So on our journey home, we got to take a detour off the side of the road onto gravel that they laid down to be driven on as well as driving on the beach....which Mike's truck didnt agree with lol!

Oh well, we made it home and safe and now Mike and I are ready for Spring Break in San Antonio!

This sucks!

So, I woke up Sunday morning not being able to breathe. Needless to say, I am still not able to breathe and wish it will be over by next week, which happens to be Spring Break!

I ablsolutely hate feeling like crap!

Anywho, on Thursday, I have to teach my first lesson for a grade! Wish me luck! Hopefully I feel better by then but if not I hope it still goes good!
