San Antonio: Day 3

On the last morning of our trip we started the day off right with Shipley's donuts and Parker got to try his first donut hole. We're pretty sure he liked it! ;)

 

 

Then it was off to the Alamo...

 

where P was more interested in walking around then looking at the historical documents and letters on display. 

After the Alamo we packed up the car and headed to Texas Hill Country. Our first stop was Fredericksburg.

German pioneers settled the area so naturally we had lunch at a biergarten. We sat outside and listened to the live music while Parker practiced his clapping. :)

After lunch and a walk down Main Street, we were on our way to Luckenbach, Texas. (Yes, we listened to the song.) Luckenbach, located down a dirt road, is apparently quite the hangout for bikers (as in motorcycles). 

Our final stop of the day was Gruene. Despite the ridiculous crowd (which we were not expecting) it lived up to its reputation as charming. We did a little window shopping and had dinner at the Gristmill. There was about a 45 minute wait so we hung out in the grassy area next to the restaurant where they have picnic tables and a guy playing the guitar.

The way they do it is when your table is ready, your name is written on a massive chalkboard. We had 2 1/2 in our party. :)

When we left Gruene we went straight to the hotel. We made it in time to see the sun set. 

Unfortunately, we didn't have a very pleasant stay. Sleepy babies (and parents!), a false fire alarm in the middle of the night, and an early flight don't mix. We said goodbye to Hill Country first thing the next morning.

 And said goodbye to San Antonio.

When we made it to Nashville, we were all happy to be home! (But not happy to leave the warm temperatures behind!)

Is it obvious that someone had just woken up from a long nap in the above photo? :)

San Antonio: Day 2

We started Day 2 with breakfast at The Guenther House and a drive through the King William Historic District.

Then we headed back to the Riverwalk. Clearly, Parker was thrilled with our plan.

 

Cutest cowboy in Texas!

Hemisfair Park

Menger Hotel

We had lunch at Mi Tierra where P had  his first taste of refried beans.

He liked the mariachi band better.

After lunch we walked around Market Square. Parker finally took a little nap on the go although I have no idea how since the Tejano Music Awards Fan Fair was in full swing.

We had dinner at Acenar. It was so good!

And we ended the day back at the hotel hanging out on the balcony overlooking the Riverwalk.

San Antonio: Day One

Keith took Parker and me to San Antonio for a long weekend as an early birthday present to me. It came at the perfect time. We were both burned out on work and over Nashville weather. Four days of 85 degree sunny weather, lots of guacamole, and a little sightseeing = Perfection!

Day One:

We could not have asked for a better little traveler.

Boudro's empanada langosta- amazing.

Someone had to take a quick afternoon nap.

Cool dude.

I love these photos of P while we were waiting on the river boat tour.
