The one around SA

We got here to SA about a week and a half before Jon was to start school. We did this so we could have time to settle before he got super busy, but I decided against that. We talked to a guy from his unit that started this school back in January and his wife said to prepare to just not have a husband. Because of this we decided to go sight see a little bit while he could join us. We did unpack a little bit, but I've saved that to give me something to do while he's gone all day at school. (he leaves at 4:15 am and doesn't get back until 5 pm or so).
We went and saw the famous River Walk. It was cool, but I was expecting something a lot cooler. It was mainly just restaurants and it was not stroller friendly. There was a few signs saying there was an elevator somewhere, but we couldn't ever find a working one. So just FYI to anyone who is wanting to go check it out. Plan on wearing your babies/infants and make your toddlers walk. Carrying our double stroller up and down all the stairs was not so much fun.



Eating at the Hard Rock Cafe 


My ward also has a play group every Tuesday that we've started going to. The first one we went to a park that has a train that you can ride. Taegs loved it. It also stops at a Japanese Tea Garden, which was pretty cool as well. Taegen loved being able to play with some new friends.

 Leap pads. Heres a river the train crossed over. 

We also bought we a new car. I don't like having a car payment, but we just recently paid off Jon's delinquent credit problems and so we needed something to help build his credit. So we decided to get me a reliable car for once. We intially were going to spend our tax return and get me a car to last the year that we're here then sell it before we leave, but we decided to pay off the debit instead and get a car. That was it'll help us both :) I love the one I choose, 08 Ford Edge. Its super nice on the inside too. Leather seats, seat warmers, dvd player, blue tooth connections. So excited. This is a terrible picture, but you'll get the idea of what it looks like.

 And heres Taegs enjoying the DVD player. It's so nice to have something to entertain him with. 

We also went to Sea World, but that's a big enough post that it gets it's own entry :)
