On Our Own!!

You read the title right! Eric and I went on a little get a way by ourselves to San Antonio! And it was marvelous :) We found a great baby sitter who stayed at our house and took care of our gang. I got this happy picture the first afternoon there. They kids had a great time with Karen and getting to spend a few hours with Grandma and Grandpa on Sunday. They were totally enjoying their "vacation" too!

We were enjoying our freedom from a schedule, crying, diaper bag, stroller, cleaning, laundry, etc. It was a little weird at first and kind of feeling lost without having to keep track of so many people and so much stuff for everyone. Don't worry, it didn't take long to adjust :) And believe it or not we did miss them, it was great to get away for a few days and just have fun together, but we did miss them, even Eric!

We stayed right on the Riverwalk in San Antonio in the Contessa Hotel which was really nice. We loved where it was located and that we didn't need the car all weekend. We went from Saturday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon and it was a perfect long weekend getaway. A 3 hour drive, close if we needed to go back and it didn't take us all to fly somewhere. We are pretty good at being lazy and we really loved getting to sleep in, nap, eat when and what we wanted, read, lay by the pool, go to the movies, try new restaurants (and actually get appetizers), shop, stay up late, go for a run, get massages, walk on the quaint Riverwalk, and sight see just a little! That pretty much sums up our trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Eating too much again. We had great food the whole time which is an extra bonus!

Riverwalk at night. It makes the city so different and very vacation-like, more than other cities we have visited. 

This was our sight seeing. We walked by the Alamo at night. Eric had come down to see it while I was napping one time but this was the extent of my sight seeing.

Roof top pool on the hotel. We had a great sunny day and the whole place to our self. 

Of all the places we ate at Eric loved this one best. It is called Zinc's and it was just next to our hotel. They recommended it and we tried it, and then tried it again! The food was great and the atmosphere is what Eric loved. It is too bright in these photos to get the real jist of it but it is an alley way between some buildings that they turned into an outdoor patio area. It was quiet and beautiful and made for a great experience. Here are a few more views of it below. 

He looks pretty happy! And I was too, it was great to spend some time with just my husband and have a great time with him. I love you Eric, thanks for a great trip! Can't wait to go again!
