San Antonio

We have been wanting to take a trip to San Antonio since we moved to Texas, we decided that Jordan's birthday weekend was the perfect time to go. So off we went.  

We left Dallas at about 2:30 for what was suppose to be about a 5 hour drive, well it turned out to be much longer than that.  To start there was some traffic getting in Dallas so we took a little detour around it.  Then we got to West, Texas (about 2 hours south of Dallas) and we hit MAJOR traffic.  It took us over an hour to get from West to Waco (typically about a 10-15 minute drive).  It was painful.  We finally got out of the traffic and started crusing.  We had been driving for maybe an hour when our tire blew out.  UGH!  By this time it was 7:00 and we started calling around places and most tire places were closed.  We found a place not too far from where we were, but when we got there they didn't have our tire.  So after talking about it for a bit (we were all really tired of being in the car at this point) we decided to just head to Richard's parents house (we were only about 40 minutes away) so we went there and got some dinner.  We were planning to spend the night there and get our tire fixed first thing in the morning before heading to San Antonio.  But his parents were so generous and offered us their car so we could just finish our drive that night and they would take our car to fixed for us.  So after being there for about an hour we headed out and finally made it to our hotel in San Antonio at about 11:30pm...NINE HOURS LATER!  It was brutal, but we were all very happy to finally be there.

In the morning we got up and ate breakfast, Jordan took Soren swimming for a bit before we headed out for the day.  When they got back I had decided that I wanted Jamba Juice (I was about 5 weeks pregnant at this time and nauseous already) so we drove quite a bit out of the way to find some Jamba Juice -- it was worth it.  :)  After we had our Jamba we headed to see the Spurs Arena.

After the Spurs arena we went and got lunch at Lulu's Cafe, it was a place that I heard about, they are famous for their 3 pound cinnamon rolls.  We had some delicious diner food and then we got a 3 lb cinnamon roll, yum.

After lunch we headed over to the Alamo district.  Before heading to the Alamo we walked around all the little shops in the area and of course we had to have some fun in the hat shop.

The Alamo

After the Alamo I needed to take a nap so we headed back to the hotel.  Apparently Soren needed a nap too, he fell asleep on the way back to the hotel and didn't budge for two hours.  We enjoyed our naps.  When Soren woke up the boys all went swimming for a bit while I worked up the energy to get moving for the evening.

We spent the evening at the Riverwalk, it was way cooler than we expected.  It was my favorite part of the trip.  We enjoyed walking around and had a yummy Mexican dinner.  Then we took the riverboat ride.  it was a really fun evening.
