My sister and I were able to get free passes for sixflags using our teacher certification numbers. If you’re a teacher you need to check out all the cool discounts and free stuff you get from using IdMe. So we decided that we would road trip to San Antonio and take the girls with us. My parents and nephew decided to join in on the fun and thankfully my sister has a big car to accommodate so many of us.
I wasn’t sure how Chloe was going to do in the car that long and thankfully my sister had little stops along the way to help with the girls.
So we took off from Fort Worth on Tuesday morning at 8:30 headed to our first stop bluebonnet cafe in marble falls. They have the yummiest pies!http://www.bluebonnetcafe.net/ a little over an hour in and Chloe started showing off her Loco side, she was not happy being in the car staring at the back of a seat. We tried to color, watch Moana, dance and sing to Mickey Mouse but nothing was working. Thankful we made it to marble falls to eat and we didn’t have to wait long for a table at all. Little food and pie helped us all out.
We got back into the car for another hour drive to Hays County to go to Jacob’s Well. Jacobs well was a pretty cool place, you have to make about a quarter mile hike to get there which was fun carrying the girls since you can’t take strollers or anything like that. I just considered it a mini workout. 💪🏽. The water was cold but clear blue and beautiful. We had a wonderful time swimming and jumping into the well. None of us were brave enough to jump from the very top of the cliff but we jumped from the middle one. If you’re driving to Austin make sure you stop off in Hayes County to experience it. Here are a few facts about Jacob’s Well.
Jacob’s Well is the second largest fully submerged cave in Texas. The deepest part of the cavern system is 140 feet deep. The main cavern length is 4,341 feet and the secondary cavern, which branches off the main cavern, is 1,314 feet in length.The water temperature stays a constant 68°F.
From Jacob’s Well our next stop was to San Antonio bout an hour and half to go! Thankfully Chloe passed out for about 45 min of the trip. The other part of the trip we just had to deal with Coco Loco. Needless to say we were beyond happy to arrive at our hotel the Omni Hotel La Mansion https://m.omnihotels.com/h5/property?pagePath=%2Fhotels%2Fsan-antonio-la-mansion-del-rio. The staff was so welcoming to our little squad. They already had a crib set up in our room for Chloe. When we ordered room service they would always send up two soppy cups for the girls. And every time we walked through the hotel they all greeted our girls. We were so happy to have stayed there.
Once we got to San Antonio the rest of the trip we front faced Chloe in the middle row and had absolutely no issues at all as we drove around everywhere. Let the mom shaming begin for front facing her before she turns two but hey! We had to do what we had to do. Since she did so well front facing we kept it that way on the way home too and guess what? No issues what so ever. Thank the Lord.
I’ll leave you all with a video of our trip to Sea World along with some cool pics from Jacob’s Well and our hotel.
