I picked my daughter up at her school in Corinth TX on Day 76 of "Education Ride 365" for a fun-filled spring break in San Antonio.  After some cycle maintenance and family visits we headed for the Alamo City!

We also had great fun at the River Walk in downtown San Antonio.  Skye danced in public for nearly three hours to musicians playing the pan flute.  She made sure to be on stage each time a boat passed by on the river.  Her dance included novice cartwheels and other risky "moves" (as she calls them) performed on the stone steps where the musicians perform!

At SeaWorld she loved the animals and shows, but her favorite activity by far was eight rides on the "Steel Eel" roller coaster.  She is 48 inches tall, the exact requirement for this jarring ride!  She was wild for it!  I could have stopped after one or fewer times!

I told her that our sixth time would be the last.  After the first steep drop, she turned to me and calmly stated that "it just isn't as much fun this time because I know it is my last time."  She repeated that statement matter-of-factly several more times as we were jerked along through the remainder of this rough, nauseating ride.  After I got my legs back under me, I suggested that we could ride a seventh time if she just enjoyed it and didn't end on a down note.  Go figure, the seventh time she banged her nose against the restraining bar and it really was not a fun ride.  So, we had to ride an eighth time to end on a high note.  And we did!

Skye loves art.  She was thrilled by this artist's work.  She enjoyed having this done downtown almost as much as she enjoyed riding the roller coaster at SeaWorld!
