San Antonio - Day 5



I'm sure everyone is getting a little sick of the day by day vacation pictures, but I took a lot (shocking).  There are too many to pick from and it's really picture overload.

On Wednesday we headed up to Fredericksburg, TX.  I've wanted to go up there with Scott since one of our first trips down here.  We got close a couple Christmas's ago, but didn't get to stop.  We loaded up the car and headed to the Hill Country.  The drive itself is so pretty and makes the 40 minutes worthwhile.  No pics while driving - major life changing discussions happening.  My parents met us up there.  We took off down Main St. and walk in and out of shops and just enjoyed small town Texas.

We found a park to play in while my mom went into to more shops.  Scott found a local coffee place and Bennett is now working on his walking skills (8 months old!).

After Fredericksburg, we headed down the road to Luckenbach, TX.  It's a very small town and if you don't turn right, you miss it.  Scott and I went there a couple years ago and wanted to explore in warmer weather.  Plus, we needed some new t-shirts for us and the boys. And it is always worth stopping in, you never know who will be singing when you stop in and lots of great stories by the musicians.

Everyone looks thrilled to be here - it was hot

Future Star?

Once we got back from our trip, it was nap time and time to relax and play.  Our goal was play hard in the mornings, sleep in the afternoons.  It worked well most of the trip.  Scott and I had a little date night on Wednesday as well.  I'd been wanting to check out the area around the Pearl Brewery.   A lot of renovations, shops, restaurants have gone in since I've moved or even last visited. 

We were wanting some real Mexican food, no more Alamo Café (we went twice).  We found a little tapas place that was great. 

Strawberry Margarita - So good

And we had to stop by the Alamo

We did walk the RiverWalk...It's one of those things you have to do.  Glad we did, but I'm not bringing the boys down there any time soon.  We did stop at Durty Nellie's for some live music - piano bar style.  It was a nice relaxing night out that was needed.
