San Antonio

Luke at 11 months


We recently took a weekend trip to San Antonio. Everyone in Texas talks about it as a great place to visit and now we know why. First of all, compared to Houston, it actually has stuff to do.
Greg, Luke and I drove down Friday morning. I sat in the back to try and placate a non car fan baby. We checked in, ordered delicious chinese take-out, and lounged. Then we checked out the Ripley's Believe it or Not and their Wax Museum. It's not super impressive, but sort of interesting and in the AC.

Nose swallower and us

A decent photo at Ripleys

Me, Edward and Bella (the worst wax figures, right)

Not a real Texas vacation without a Texas shaped waffle

I stole some photos from the Livseys blog to prove that they came with us.(Hannah is a great photographer.)

The Mexican soldiers have a voice




Not shown. We had snow cones and they were delicious in the heat of the day. Then we took a stroll down "the riverwalk". It is really nice like everyone says. Then we ate some delicious mexican food.

(We were trying to decide where to eat and Hayden said "I'll decide; Let's go home!" he was tired of walking)


The next morning after breakfast, we headed to the zoo with our friends. And hence to lunch at Chipotle.

The air conditioning in this random hippo place was heaven sent

Luke is a beautiful butterfly



This was supposed to be my shot, but Luke stole the show




Bears, beets, battlestar galactica

Luke is a pretty chill dude and so Greg took that photo series with the express purpose to show that he just sat in his stroller and gazed calmly. Not one clap or finger point.

We had lots of fun in San Antonio and would recommend it above Houston. Unless you want to come and play board games with us. But that would be the main attraction and you would be sad when you lost to us.
