Spring Break 2011

For Spring Break this year, we decided to do a "Staycation" instead of a Vacation, since plane ticket prices are through the roof! We decided on the Gaylord Texan Hotel, in Grapevine! Only about 30 minutes from our house! It was a great choice to spend a couple of nights there, and Sawyer had a blast at the "hotel" and is already asking to go back, lol. Here are some pictures from our trip!
Checking into our room, Sawyer smiling on the bed!
Of course, we had to start things off by jumping on the bed!

After getting settled in, the first thing we had to do was swim! Sawyer was so excited!
Sawyer had a great time in the outdoor pool and hot tub!
Hugs for Daddy
He didnt want to get out!
After getting cleaned up from swimming, we decided to explore the hotel before dinner!
Posing on a bench
We found a giant windmill!
And had to touch the waterfall!
Sawyer and Mommy
Patiently waiting for dinner
Sawyer enjoyed some yummy tortillas at the Riverwalk Cantina for dinner!
And made a new froggie friend!
Say cheese!
Having fun!
My sweet boy!
Had to reach into the fountain!
The next day, we decided to do some more exploring. One of Sawyer's favorite things was riding the elevator! It was clear glass so you could see so many things when you went up and down!
Sawyer found some fish in a pond.
He loved the fish!
Sawyer and Daddy
We found the balloon lady!
Sawyer was very excited about his St Patricks Day Shamrock Balloon!
See my balloon?
Then, we found some trains to look at!
Of course, Sawyer loved the trains!
Since it was March Madness, they had a little mini-Mavs court in the restaurant we ate at that night, Texas Station.
There was also a Gold Cowboy. Sawyer called him the "Gold Man" He was awesome! He sat so still like a statue, but was a real person. Sawyer waved to him, and he waved back. Sawyer was not so sure about him and would not get close to him. Of course, the next morning, he was asking to go see him lol.
Lots of pretty fountains to look at!
Pretending to drive a car in the arcade!
Riding the elevator some more!
On the second day, we went swimming again, this time in the Indoor Pool.
Finally, it was time to go home. Sawyer got all packed up and ready to go!
One more trip down the elevator!
We had a great time and hope to go back again sometime!
