San Antonio

Jacob took vacation this weekend so that we could be in Florida for Nick and Sam's wedding.  Sadly, we did not make it there as we had so hoped.  To conquer our sadness we decided to at least keep moving and so, we ended up on a little road trip to San Antonio, Texas. 

On our way we stopped in this tiny town along the way to stretch, play and relax.  We found a little park that was home to a beautiful and magnifcent tree:

We walked the Riverwalk, took a boat ride along it, and ate some pretty fantastic Mexican food:

We stayed at the Hilton on the river, and woke up the next day to some cool, windy weather.  We hopped over to this adorable little breakfast place and decided to hit the road and do the Alamo at a later (and warmer) date:

The next day we took a little detour down to Shiner, Texas to tour Spoetzl Brewery:

where we discovered one of the founders in the 1800's looks eerily like Jacob (would with a mustache):

Crazy, right?

Still wish we would have made it to Florida.  But this little adventure took some sting out of a planned weekend getaway!

PS: In case you didn't notice, momma got a new SD card.  I'm back! Snapping away on my phone.

Galveston

Grandmommy and Grandpa came to visit us Friday. And since they were only here for the day, we all decided to check out Galveston.  I wouldn't write home about the quality of the beach. The day started out a little dreary, but it was nice to be oceanside regardless.

We checked out the historical district. Some incredibly beautiful buildings. (I had no idea how much history Galveseton had, I can't wait to go back in May for the homes tour)

Then after we ate, we took the boys on their first Ferry ride. 

It was a great day!
