San Antonio

Well we officially went on our FIRST family vacation this last weekend! Yes our first...as in no parents or anything...we are so grown up! :) No but seriously it was the first time we have gone anywhere with just our little family and we had so much FUN! We left the morning of Kaysia's birthday (the 2nd) and we spent the afternoon shopping in San Marcos at Prime Outlets...rated #2 best shopping in the world by the women on "The View". It was extremely hot but the stores were gorgeous and the prices were not too shabby so we were able to splurge a bit and buy each of us some new shirts. Then we continued on to San Antonio and checked into our hotel.
My parents so generously allowed us to use some Marriott points and so we were able to stay at the Townplace Suites. We took enough food to eat most of our meals there since it had a full kitchen-which turned out to be so great since our budget is tight these days! And I just have to say for the record that Kaysia slept like an angel both nights. We were VERY worried about how she was going to sleep in the same room with us but each night after I laid her in the playpen she would simply say "Momma?" and once I told her I was there she would lay down and go to sleep! It was amazing! A huge milestone for us!
Anyway, the next day we went down to the Riverwalk and Market Square and after a LOT of walking and sweating we finally rode the bus back to our car which turned out to be the highlight for Kaysia. She was not happy when we had to get off! We spent the rest of the evening swimming and enjoyed a nice steak dinner at a place called Canyon Cafe near our hotel.
Originally we had planned to go see the Alamo but because of the holiday weekend and the large crowds we decided to just head home Saturday morning! With it only being 2 1/2 hrs away it really was not a bad drive at all and we were able to do so much! Thanks again Mom and Dad for hooking us up we owe you big time! Here are a few pictures from our trip...and no I did not get any of the hotel which I am mad about but what can ya do?
