Staycation [Travel]

Sometimes the best vacations are staying home and relaxing or just going to the new ride at your local amusement park. As some of you may know, I live in San Antonio, home of Fiesta Texas. They recently opened the new Batman Ride, so I had the opportunity of checking it out. 

The Batman ride was crazy! It lasted only 30 seconds but they were the longest 30 seconds of my life! If you like excitement and getting super dizzy, this is your kind of ride. I was a little hesitant on going, but once I was there I had a blast!  

I had so much fun getting on the rides and almost having a heart attack! A lot of my childhood memories came rushing back to me! Fiesta Texas never gets old, and it is always a great idea. 

Road-trip to Key Allegro-Rockport

During Thanksgiving break I was invited to spend a few days in the Key Allegro Rockport region of Texas.  Since it's only 3 hours away from San Antonio we drove there.
Key Allegro is a small island located on the South Texas Gulf Coast. If you are planning to have a relaxed weekend away from traffic and noise, this small town is the perfect getaway. There are very nice vacation rental homes that include awesome amenities like a fishing pier, swimming pool and hot tub among others (link to vacation rental homes) .

During  our stay there we went fishing, visited the aquarium, grilled delicious shrimp, played board games, watched beautiful sunsets and just strolled through this small town. It was a great family weekend!

If you decide to visit this place for a weekend, you should definitely check out the Boiling Pot Restaurant. This unique restaurant is located at 201 South Fulton Beach Road in Rockport. They are famous for their fresh Cajun-spiced boiled seafood. You definitely need to try the seafood boil, I promise you won’t regret it!  It includes sausage, corn in the cob, potatoes, crab and shrimp. Don't forget to use a bib.
