We all made a trip to the mainland this past week for a conference in San Antonio. Trips to the mainland quickly remind me of how different Hawaii is from anywhere else. I think living here is slowly changing us, especially when it comes to cooler weather. We froze in San Antonio! The conference was work but we did get to see a bunch of old colleagues and friends. The best part was that Aunty Ashley came from Atlanta to help with Alma while Matt and I were working. She was such an amazing help and so good with Alma. They hit it off immediately.
Alma picked up a few make-up artist tips from Aunty Ashley. Watch out Ashley, I think you might have some competition.
Alma really enjoyed seeing new places especially those involving mechanical horse rides. We couldn't get her off this thing.
We even got to see a few real horses. We stayed right on the Riverwalk so there was plenty of touristy things to do.
Shawn and Ann made a trip up from Houston to visit as well. It was great to see them.
Alma of course loved the hotel room. She really gets a kick out of having a TV right next to her bed. As you can see, she was very busy relaxing.
