Spring Time in San Antonio...


We spent last week in San Antonio with John while he attended a conference. It was nice to stay at a hotel and have a break from cooking and cleaning.  In a new city I always make it my mission to find a pretty park, a good museum, and some local cuisine. 

This is the cowboy art museum.  Yeah, I am not that crazy;)  Instead we opted to spend two different days in the children's museum.  I am learning catering to the kids is much more enjoyable and less of a spectacle:)
The only thing that would have made the vacation better would have been a little more time with John.  He was busy being wined and dined by vendors.  He went to a rodeo, several lunches and dinners, and enjoyed box seats to the Spurs.  

I found a new flowering love in San Antonio...the lilac tree.  They were so pretty juxtaposed with the Spanish architecture and smelled like heaven.  

I instagram-ed about being a side show at the Alamo.  We were quite the site with an overflowing stroller and a big baby bump.  People kept saying things like, "bless your heart," or "you are a brave woman."
We took a river boat tour twice.  It was fun to learn more about the city.



This yummy Tex Mex place was located next to a beautiful old cathedral where Davy Crocket was laid to rest.  Looking up at the old church spires on a perfect spring day while we enjoyed the delicious cuisine was divine!
Nice park:  Check
Fun museum:  Check
Good food:  Check
San Antonio gets Texas-sized stars in all areas.  Can't wait to go back.
