We took a mini vacation this weekend and had a great time. Cherub and their boyfriend came down for the weekend, and we took our kiddos to the World Oddities Expo.
After a couple days here in town, spending time at a local witchy shop, and a trip to the beach, we trekked our way to the Expo and spent the weekend in San Antonio. We spent time in the pool, walking downtown for food, and generally relaxing.
I got plenty of awesome goodies, including impala horns, boar ribs, opossum jaws, and 20 pieces of a diamond back spine. We also found this amazing soap place (www.popsoapshop.com) and I highly recommend W.A.P. that smells like a whole ass ack of watermelon bubblegum! Jamison got Old Sport which is absolutely divine, our kids got Courage and Beetlejuice. Yes, I’m fully advertising for them because the seller was absolutely the kindest and even remembered us the next day when we went back for more!
We ended up stopping twice at a 3D printing booth and all got way too many fidget animals, including a fully reticulated orange and white ball python for me which is now my new child. Jamison got some adorable Baphomet socks for work. K1 got a cute crystal rose, K2 got some freeze-dried candies, and K3 got the cutest 3D printed Zen garden to put a crystal spider into.
Overall, we had such an amazing time spending hours with the nibling and (now fully adopted) nephew, walking around and seeing all the taxidermy, bones, and wet specimens, swimming, eating, and napping like crazy.
Despite my ankle being a complete douche bag, I was even able to walk a few blocks downtown from the hotel to Chipotle and back for dinner with the nibling and nephew. I’ll probably end up needing a new ankle shot here soon with how much I walked but I’m hoping to be able to keep up the momentum and keep walking around the neighborhood to start exercising more.
I hope everyone is doing well and prepping well for the summer.
