Sunday at home

Well, have much catching up to do, been kinda busy and all.Did some shopping done today, nothing much, just groceries and crap.kinda sucked cause we took the cruiser and the a/c is still busted.maybe this week we'll get it fixed but it will take a lot of back and forth.

last weekend we went over to the valley for mother's day. it was okay until we met for Sunday breakfast at Denny's.. http://dennys.com . Needless to say, it'll be awhile before we go back. Tired of playing second fiddle when we were the ones visiting and were about to leave town again.

The only fun time I had was when we visited the Palo Alto Battlefield in Brownsville.

They were having the 165th anniversary of the Battle of Palo Alto with historical recreations, living history displays and lots of other cool stuff. They even fired a real live cannon. The weather was pleasant enough in the morning so I was able to hang around til 1pm and take plenty of pictures.

They're getting ready to fire up the cannon.

Tuesday we finally went to see Rock of Ages http://rockofagesmusical.com/ at the Majestic Theatre http://majesticempire.com/. It was so cool, especially if you remember the music of the eighties/early nineties. It had plenty of music and big hair. Constantine was especially good. http://constaninemaroulis.com/. Too bad we can't take any pictures, otherwise i'd have plenty to share.

Next month we have tickets to go see Mana. They're finally coming to San Antonio. In the nine years we've been here, i've been waiting patiently to see them. Now is the time. Can't wait, so excited.

Last night we went to a star gazing event at the Mitchelle Lake Audbon Center. http://tx.audubon.org/Mitchell_Calendar.html

There were plenty of telescopes for us to use and we were able to take a peak at the Moon and Saturn, even if Saturn was so small...considering that it's really, really far, even with a big telescope it was still small, but it was big enough to admire. The moon looked awesome, glad i was able to take a snapshot of it.

This is just one of the many different types of cacti that are there in display. There's alot of plants, birdhouses, birdbaths and even a gazeebo with picnic tables to have lunch and stuff, even a hiking trail. We had no idea this place was there. Unfortunately last night we didn't have time to explore but now that we know where it is I'm sure we'll be back again for more.
