The weather was AWESOME while we were there. It felt so good to wear flip flops and sunglasses and not have to worry about a jacket. It was a really nice break from the rain and cold!
It was the 175th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo, while we were down there. I love anything to do with history, so I really enjoyed going and seeing that.
Let’s talk about the food for a moment: it was awesome! Mexican food is my favorite of all time, and they have PLENTY of it in Texas! The margaritas looked amazing as well, but I obviously wasn’t able to partake in them. I’m normally not much of an alcohol person, so I haven’t really minded not being able to drink. I have to say though, I was a little jealous….I love margaritas! Oh well, everyone else enjoyed theirs! 
Eva tried guacamole for the first time, and she LOVED it!
Being the Seattleites that we are, we of course had to get Starbucks everyday. The picture below is of David and his little niece, while at Starbucks.
We all went our separate ways on Tuesday….and everyone had to say goodbye to David’s brother. That was emotional for everyone….I even almost cried! I know how hard it is on David knowing that his little brother is in harm’s way.
I have to admit, I really didn’t want to come home. I could have stayed longer. I would like to go back and do all the things we didn’t have the chance to do. I would like to go to Sea World and the zoo. On the drive to the airport I spotted a HUGE outlet mall that I would LOVE to go to. I also saw three Cracker Barrels. I LOVE that restaurant and we don’t have any in Washington state for some reason.
Pretty much my only complaint about Texas, is that smoking is allowed in bars. I don’t like the smell of cigarrette smoke normally, but with being pregnant I really didn’t want to be around it. All in all, I really loved San Antonio and I’m so glad we went. Now I’m ready for another vacation again! I slept better than I had in a LONG time.
