San Antonio Trip
Jared and I decided we would try to take a vacation without Brayden before the new baby arrived. We had many thoughts of spots we wanted to go, and after much deliberation we decided on San Antonio, Texas. I have never been to Texas and thought San Antonio would be a good trip of relaxation with not too many attractions to wear me out. We left Brayden with my sister Hailey and it was harder for me to leave him than I thought. We arrived in San Antonio in the late evening so we headed to the hotel to get some sleep. The next morning we woke up and headed to Sea World. Sea World is a favorite of mine; we saw all the shows, feed the dolphins and went back and saw Shamu one more time before leaving.
It was a lot of fun, but very hot. Several times we both mentioned how much fun Brayden would have had.
After Sea World we drove around and finally got a bite to eat. The next morning we slept in; which was wonderful and then headed to a street market just down from our hotel so we walked. After looking around for a little bit we decided we were ready for lunch. We ate an amazing Mexican restaurant; it was delicious. From there we were ambitious and decided to walk to The Alamo. It was quite a walk and Jared was really understanding of me going so slow. We finally got to The Alamo and spent about 2hours listening to the audio tour. We were both wiped out after that. It was so hot so we decided to get a shaved ice. As we were paying for our shaved iced it started to rain. We sat under a gazebo for about 20 minutes until the rain let up. We walked around and made our way down to the Riverwalk. We had a great time taking the boat and seeing all the sites along the river. We got out and took our time walking back to our hotel.
In true fashion we weren't able to decide on what to eat for dinner. We weren't that hungry and wanted something light. Finally, at about 9pm we ventured out to find somewhere to eat. After about 30 minutes in the car we settled on Denny's. We both loved our meal, it really hit the spot. We had a great time and thought it would be nice if we could do it again soon, but I don't see that happening.
