MD 2014

I am taking  a short break from Texas ( I still haven't finished ), even though Zuzia is constantly asking me, when am I going to talk about a visit to Sea World!!! I will, I promised her and maybe few anxious members of my family. The rest of my small, but faithful readers, bear with me:)

For now though it is a Mother's Day, and I can't just skip it.
I don't know who was more excited today, my two children ( out of three ) or me! I'll go with the kids.
Zuzia and Kubus woke up early, helped Andrzej with breakfast, showered me with handmade cards ( they are the best ) and share the excitement of my new, wonderful, multifunctional Blendtec!!!
That was my requested gift.

 

Truly, paleo breakfast! The M is for...mama of course!!!

 



 

The Flower Delivery truck from Kubus with; it was mine, as long as I gave it back to him:)

 



Looking powerful!!!

 

 



We have postponed the annual trip to the beach, even though the weather was gorgeous ; we have opted for home this year.

The dogwood tree is finally blooming; perfectly for today!
 





At the end of the day my whole family agreed that there is more joy in giving than receiving, since they ( the family ) devoured the deliciousness that my new "friend" helped me produce today in the kitchen :)

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers!

Snakes, cowboys and BBQ...

We took our kids out of the Austin City Limits. We really wanted to visit a rancho, but since we lacked time and we do not know any ranchers, we had to postponed it. Maybe next time.

However we decided on visiting few unique places, that were nearby. We had to skip majority of the ones that were on the list, but we went to a very popular place, called Hamilton Pool.
Zuzia claimed it as the most interesting place that she visited so far ( she says that every time she sees something that she likes ), and she did not want to leave it. Probably due to the abundance of snakes and lizards and other creatures that I definitely can live without!

 

Later we traveled to Wimberly where a Pioneer Town is recreated. The buildings were closed for the week, but we could walk all over the town and visit the museum. The museum was one of a kind, and if it wasn't for the kiddoes I could spend there hours!

 

 



 

 At the end the day we dined at the best BBQ place ( to our knowledge and palate ) - Salt Lick;

just look at that meat! :)

San Antonio

The fun part of having growing children, is the fact that we can show them the places that we liked, and enjoyed them ( the places, but kids too :) ) all over again. On the list of our very busy schedule, was the visit to San Antonio and partially walking, partially boating on the Riverwalk. Of course we took them for the tour and history of The Alamo Mission. We visited one more mission - San Jose Mission. The kids are troopers, they followed us everywhere patiently and seemed to be quite interested!

A gondola ride...
 

... I couldn't resist...
 

...finishing with a walk.
 

 Making the wait for Mexican food more enjoyable:)
 

"Remember The Alamo!"

More of San Antonio to come! That wasn't our only trip there.
