JW Marriott Weekend Getaway!

This family has been going non stop this summer! We were invited a month or so back to go to San Antonio for a weekend getaway for July 4th weekend with Landon's brother and sister in law and kiddos. We sadly declined because one... we are broke from Disney World and two.. we just got a new puppy and didn't think it was fair to have to ask someone to watch her so soon. The day his bro and sis were leaving they called us one last time and said you sure yall don't want to come?!? They offered to kindly pick up the room charges and my mom offered to watch Nala, our puppy. So we couldn't say no now :) I am so glad we went. The place was gorgeous and we of course had great company. It was awesome to spend time with them, since they are moving to Austin here in 3 short weeks.

Landon and I packed our bags in 30 minutes, grabbed a quick lunch, picked the kids up super early from daycare and Miller's gym (where Laney is hanging out this summer), and we hit the road.

 I didn't take many pictures of the actual place.. but it was super duper nice. Tons of room for the kids to run around and play!



Lots of time with their cousins :) They all play so well together and looooooove each other tons!

Waiting on our quick dinner the first night. The kids were dying to hop in the pool.. so we made it a quick meal!

Friday was Fourth of July. We hit the pools first thing that morning and swam majority of the day. They have an awesome kiddie pool with little slides for the kids. They also have a big pool, lazy river and some bigger slides that Laney rode on a few times. It was so relaxing and all the kids love the water so it was so much fun watching all their excitement.




We took a quick nap, then headed to dinner outside of the resort. We were hoping to catch fireworks but our resort wasn't shooting any, so we would have to go downtown or Sea World to see them and we weren't really up for that. We hung out on the lawn and the kids held one sparkler a piece that were given to us by a nice man, then we went to our hotel room and could see lots of fireworks from our window. Not the full effect since you couldn't hear them, but the kids were more interested in running around and jumping on the beds in the room..lol.

The best picture we got of all us :( The poor lady that took it for us was a little too shaky for my sensitive camera :(



Saturday, we had more fun swimming. The TPC golf course was apart of the resort and the tee box was right there on the lawn we saw and walked by every day. Landon talked about the golf course for 2 straight days.. so finally just called and asked for a reservation. Kipton and I tagged along, while Laney hung back and played and swam with Parker.
Daddy's golf buddy for sure!!!!!

Kipton didn't have his golf clubs so he made due and used Daddy's left handed ones..lol
Sunday, I came down with some yucky tummy problems, so we headed home early.

We had a great trip and are so thankful for Tanner and Jodi allowing us to join them and thankful for my momma watching the puppy :)

Hope you all had a fabulous 4th!!
