June Vacations

This month we took a couple of trips. Our first trip was to Dallas to visit my Aunt and cousins. Carlos and I got there the day before my parents and my sister and her boyfriend arrived. So while my other family members were traveling Carlos and I spent the day at Six Flags Over Texas. It was a lot of fun. We took our time while we were there, road most of the rides (at least all the big ones), and enjoyed some ice cream... a couple of times. That evening we met up with everyone at my Aunt's house.

The next day we all went to the Dallas World Aquarium. It's definitely the neatest aquarium I have been to (although I haven't been to many). You had the feel of actually being in the wild. Monkeys, sloths, birds, etc were in the trees around you. Ducks, various fish, and marine mammals swam together in the "lake". The shark tank had a tunnel through it so that the sharks were swimming all around you. After the aquarium we ate at a local Tex-Mex restaurant and headed back to my Aunt's house. Our final day there was spent walking around the aboretum where we also had a little picnic, and we ended the day with a cookout.
Last week Carlos, some friends, and I all went to Phoenix to see Iron Maiden and Dream Theater in concert! The drive wasn't bad at all; we had a nice hotel room; and I finally got to eat at an In-N-Out Burger!!
