San Antonio...Day 5

ZOO DAY!!!

On Thursday, Walt and I took Lily and Gracie to the San Antonio Zoo. It was a really pretty zoo. The last zoo we had been to was in Abilene, so this was a treat! The girls started the adventure awake and seemed to enjoy the animals. Gracie fell asleep first.. somewhere after the Amazon Area. Lily got to see a few more animals before falling asleep in the Africa Area. They were doing some construction and adding more "Africa" stuff- I think they are just expanding what they have. We went in the morning so that it would be cooler.

That evening we went back to the RiverCenter Mall and did some more shopping with Mimi- check out the girls' loot!

San Antonio...Day 4

Wednesday was definitely a "hump" day on our trip. We had planned on going to the outlet mall in San Marcos, but Wes woke up not feeling well. It got worse as the morning went on, so he, Rusty and Mica headed to the clinic. He was diagnosed with the flu and had to take 2-3 bags of saline because he had become dehydrated. Walt and I decided to take the girls out to stay out of everyone's way. We had passed a promising shopping center one of the days before so we headed back to check it out. We spent the afternoon shopping- found some really good bargains at Old Navy! There were no pics taken- sorry. Stay tuned for tomorrow... many pics to come!

San Antonio...Day 3

On Tuesday we spent the early afternoon at the Children's Museum in downtown. The girls had a blast!!! They had a HEB mini-market set up in the basement that the girls had so much fun pushing the baskets and picking out food. They had part of an airplane that had a real cockpit and seats in it. There was a reading area with a clubhouse and kitchen area... too much to name everything. The girls fell asleep on the way there, but woke up shortly once we were there.

That night Walt, I, Wes and Mica went to the Spurs vs. Mavericks game. We had really good seat behind one of the goals. We got there early (even before the doors open) and was able to watch some of the warm-ups. Even though the guys didn't win, it was a fun night. Thanks Papa & Mimi for watching all the girls!

San Antonio...Days 1 & 2

NEW PICS ON FLICKR!!


We arrived in San Antonio on Sunday around 5:30pm and got all our stuff into the hotel. I didn't take any pics of our suite, but it was beautiful. It was one of the Presidential suites with four bedrooms, 4 baths, kitchen, eating area and TV room! We loaded up all the little ones (Lily,Gracie and Cousin Anna) and headed down to the Riverwalk. We found a restaurant that could hold all of us and sat down to a lovely meal. We then headed back to the hotel and got ready for bed and the week ahead!
On Monday we walked downtown to the museum- which was closed on Mondays! We decided to walk a little further and go to the River Center Mall. We spent the afternoon eating and shopping! The girls were able to get a decent nap in the stroller. That night we went to Pappadeux for some yummy seafood! I had some amazing stuffed shrimp- yum, yum!!
The first few days went well with relaxation and good food. Upcoming... Children's museum and Spurs basketball!

Update
