San Antonio....

A couple weeks ago, we took a trip to San Antonio. On the way we stopped at Buc-ee's in Luling (my favorite one if you were wondering). It was the perfect rest stop.....except for the fact that your don't take a hungry pregnant wife to buy a few items.

Madelyn hanging out in the hotel room before bed.....

We arrive in the Alamo City and check into our hotel room (on the 34th floor). It was a great view of the city.......and allowed Madelyn to spot buses (one of her favorite things to do) whenever she felt like. The hotel was in a great location....one block from the convention center and right next to the mall. I wasn't planning on shopping this trip, but with the cooler weather.....we needed to buy Madelyn a few items to stay warm. Of course the joke of the weekend was "How could Bethany pick a hotel that is right next to a mall? What was she thinking?"

On to the fun stuff....Madelyn and I were able to take in a few sites while in San Antonio. We visited the San Antonio Zoo (for those wondering, it is 10X better than Houston's), The Alamo (3 or 4 times), stopped by a few museums, took a few trips down the River walk, and of course watched some college football.

Below are a few pics from the weekend.....

If you could only have seen Madelyn's face before and after this picture....

I wish I had a popsicle.....

Chaz is one of those cats that always wants to participate in what you are doing. If I am sitting on the couch....he will find a spot on the couch. If I am shredding paper.....he will get as close as he can to the paper shredder. Chaz is somewhat afraid of Madelyn (she likes to give him hugs.....and Chaz isn't that affectionate for some strange reason). When we go outside to play on the splashpad, Chaz feels the need to make sure that we know that he would like to get a little sun. We have let him out a few times, but he doesn't like being chased by a little girl.

On the afternoon the picture was taken, Madelyn was having a little fun with her popsicle (basically acting like it was an airplane while eating it). Chaz was fixated on the popsicle......he wouldn't take his eyes off it. Just thought it was one of those cute moments.

Below is a pic of Chaz getting comfortable on my clothes....
