Remember the Alamo!!!

For months (or maybe even years), Greg and I kept saying we were going to go away for a vacation without kids.

I think the only two times we have really done that are 1) when Noah was 6 months old we flew to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to go skiing for a long weekend and 2) three years ago we went to Chicago for a weekend for Greg to run the half-marathon there.

I was itching for some time away after a long and very busy summer.  I worked way too much and had very little down time!  We stay so busy with four boys, jobs, commitments to church and other ministries.  We really just needed time to enjoy one another.

In very non-me fashion, we made plans, booked plane tickets, hotel and rental car and decided to take a trip over Labor Day weekend to........

San Antonio, Texas

Why Texas?  Well, we wanted to go somewhere we had not been.  We wanted to go somewhere with a variety of things to do.  I googled "great weekend getaways" and San Antonio kept coming up so we went.

We had SO much fun!

We ate at some different restaurants, took a boat cruise on the river walk, slept late, took a nap, read, drove to a quaint little town called Gruene and watched a movie.  We toured the Alamo and went to El Mercado, a Mexican style open air market.
