Recap (Part I)

Here we go!

We started our trip in San Antonio; a city that Ronnie and I really enjoyed way back when we lived in Del Rio, practically a lifetime ago. Since the wedding was in Ronnie's hometown of San Angelo, it was convenient to fly into San Anton and spend a couple nights there. It was super hot and super humid! We're certainly used to the heat having spent five summers here already, but the humidity makes you feel so awful when you're not accustomed to it. Anyway, we slept in (always a good way to start a vacation) and then headed down to the Riverwalk. We did the boat cruise along the San Antonio River which was really fun with the kids.


Can you tell the little one is hot?!


We all are!

After the cruise, we headed in to the mall food court for some lunch and more importantly, some freezing cold air conditioning! Afterward, we decided we had enough steam to walk down to the Tower of the Americas. Ronnie took a really cool photo of the boys in front of the tower with his phone, but I don't have it on the computer, so you'll have to wait on that one. Gaby fell asleep in the Baby Ergo on the way there, so she was able to get a needed nap. (Side note: The Baby Ergo is by FAR the best baby carrier I have EVER used! Love it! And it sure did make the trip much easier!)


Couple photos along the way to the tower.



We took the elevator to the top where the boys were able to look out at San Antonio with the use of telescopes.





After we were done exploring, we headed back to the car. Luckily, there were some great fountains along the sidewalk and Thomas had a blast running through them. Clay decided he didn't want to be wet for the walk back. (More photos on Ronnie's phone.)

When we got back to the hotel, we all went to the pool to cool off. It was Gaby's first time in a pool and she LOVED it! Lots of splashing and smiling!



It was a great day!
