This year for our Purdy family vacation we went to San Antonio! My parents have some points with the Wyndham Properties, so we got to stay in down town San Antonio on the River Walk. Caryn and I decided that since we were doing so many outside activities, that the babies would be better off staying behind. This was a "big kids" only trip. Lila loved having our undivided attention. Caroline stayed with Cha Cha and her best friend down at the lake house. We are so blessed to have such amazing family to love on and take care of our girls!
Thursday morning Josh and I tearfully left our baby and headed down the road to San Marcos. We stopped at my favorite store, the Pottery Barn outlet, and scored big time. We got a new dining room table! Yay! (Luckily, we got to park our truck in the garage all weekend and ride with everyone else).
When we got there, we headed straight to dinner. Several people recommended that we try Mi Tierra. It was a GIANT Mexican food restaurant in Market Square. Unfortunately, the concierge made it seem like a few blocks away from our hotel...so we walked. Little feet, hungry peps, 100 degree temps and a mile and a half walk aren't' really the best combo, Ha!
Sweet Lila walking with Aunt Angie :)
Once we got there, we had a great time. The food was only okay, but a great time.
The cousins were having a blast!
Lila tried so hard to keep up all weekend. Here she is making a HUGE jump :)
On the way back we got smart, and decided to ride the trolly.
So fun!!
We decided to walk over and see the Alamo. Beautiful! Don't think I've been there since my high school choir trip!
If we had been thinking!!!! we would have stopped there, seeing as it was 8:30 and so hot!!! But we didn't. We thought riding the river boat would be a fun idea...
We waited for about 45 minutes in line and then around 9:30 realized what time it was and why the children around us were dropping like flies! Wyatt and Lila both asked if they could go to bed! My mom used her magic negotiating skills and got us rain check tickets to use the next morning!
FYI, early morning on the River walk is awesome!! Almost 20 degrees cooler and about 1/4 of the people.

GP getting some lovin in :)
Walking along the River walk.
Stopping to see the baby ducklings.
After that, the girls headed out to La Cantera to shop and the boys took the kids swimming and to see Kung Fu Panda 2. My friend Kelly was able to join us for lunch with my sweet Goddaughter Olivia :)
We ate sushi at Kona Grill. So Yummy!
We stayed up north shopping all day. The kids and dudes came up to meet us for dinner at Chama Gaucha a yummy Brazilian Steak house. Lila didn't like anything on the salad bar or the meat, so she ate...a bowl of cherries from the bar. Oh well, after two days of no nap, what ever made her happy and quiet through dinner!
The next day was SEA WORLD!!
Lila had been talking about this for almost a month, so she was SO excited.
It was a little warm:) and Military appreciation day, due to Memorial day, so the crowd was to full capacity. Other than that, it was really fun.
Lila is still talking about the beluga whales she saw!
After three days without my baby, (and with my pump) I was so glad to be home!! I think sister was glad to see us too. Another fun trip for the books! Thanks Mom and Dad!
