San Antonio Texas

In a week from Sunday, Matt and I will be going to San Antonio for Matt's Conference. I am so excited!!! I haven't ever been to San Anton ( as the Duke puts it,) and from what Devin described from his Violin tour a few years ago it is really neat...

I am looking forward to the River Walk, The Alamo and Texas food (which I hear is great!!)
Has anyone been to San Antonio?

It has been a really crazy planning feat since Kyler is doing football, Mckenna has a ton of dance and Music Man rehearsals. If Devin had his drivers license we would just leave everyone with him since I am only going to be gone for 3 days, but alas, we are 2 months or so ahead of ourselves. Kyler is staying with a friend that he plays football with, Kenna is staying with a friend who takes dance with her but goes to a different school (Andrea is having a baby sometime the week we are gone, so I didn't dare ask her to have mckenna stay with her and Kyleigh, so Maddie is the only choice,) and so Lisa will be driving Kenna to school in the mornings and then picking her up afterwards on Monday and Tuesday. Devin is staying of course with Eric and Mark like always.

The real reason that I am excited to go is because Matt and I haven't gone anywhere together since Kyler was 2 years old and the Crabbs watched the boys when we lived in Florida. So this is going to be a real treat AND we don't pay for anything except food because it is payed for by the City!!! ( I am waiting for a comment on that one dad!)

Matt will be gone to San Fransico the week before, fly in to Las Vegas on Saturday so that he and I can leave together and then on Wednesday we both fly into Vegas, I go home and he changes airplanes to fly to Salt Lake. Matt will have traveled more this month that he will have been home. He was gone Sunday night and came home late tonight because His staff and the Mayor went to a leadership convention and were able to listen to some really good speakers; Rudoulph Guiliani (Matt predicts that Guiliani will be the Republican ticket candidate for President,) John Stockton, Steve Forbes & Zig Ziggler to name a few. They all tried to get tickets to the American Legion to listen to Condeleza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld, but all the seating was gone. The Mayor got to stay in Salt Lake to meet President Bush and hear him speak tommorow.... (waiting her too, dad.)

Well, I guess that when I come home from Texas I will have some great stories, a few pictures and most of all had a fun time with Matt.

love to everyone!!

I've never been to San Antonio but I have always wanted to go. You will have so much fun, and how nice to take a trip just the two of you! Can't wait till Lou and I can do that again.

That's great Sandi - you'll have alot of fun and share
"UN-interrupted by kids" time.
Guiliani - great NYC Mayor, Rumsfeld - I love to listen to his news-conferences, Rice - in-over-her-head, and Mr. Bush - I believe he really believes his own words, and, UNlike most Americans today, so do most Utahns believe, the only overwhelmingly Republican state. Even the previous President Bush disagrees with his son's Iraqi loss of lives and total waste of 'could be used in the good-old-USA' money on people who don't even like us. Oh Well, see- I didn't disappoint you - I did have a comment - oh, I can't say anything about Matt's traveling courtesy of the taxpayers, since, obviously, so did I: San Diego, Las Vegas, Dallas, New Orleans, Orlando/Disney, San Francisco, - wow mucho$$$s - enjoy your trip.
