San Antonio!

What a fabulous trip! The girls were perfect, we laughed for 3 days straight and we made it home in one piece.
On the way down, we stopped for custard at the best custard stand "on the planet." Imagine, it's just down the road in Waco!

I've never met a kid who loves ice cream as much as Molly Rose. Seriously. When she hears the words, she freaks. She'll eat until she fairly pops, and when the last bite is gone, she folds herself in half and screams into her feet. It's not pretty.

The aftermath.

The minute we got to the hotel, we were in the pool. Lucy was so, so excited to be "simming!" Ok, I'll be honest. The pool lasted for about 10 minutes. These two are definitely their mama's girls! They jumped right in the hot tub and just sat and sighed for the better part of 30 minutes. Nothing like a little pampering to make you forget 5 hours in the car with two toddlers!

On Friday morning, we set off for the San Antonio Children's Museum. The girls had a blast!

Mo and a giant loaf of plastic French bread.

After we were done at the Children's Museum, the rain had cleared and we headed out to the Alamo! (okay, two blocks away. Whatever.) That was super cool and we just loved it. Lucy was afraid of the big tree, but she managed. 2-year-olds and their fears...it's exhausting.

After the Alamo, we stopped for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. Lucy was also afraid of that.

After lunch, we took some time to wander around Riverwalk. So pretty and unique! It was a little pesky with the strollers, as it's below street level and there are a lot of stairs to manage. Luckily, we each had an umbrella stroller and just sort of grabbed them and jogged up the stairs.

This is aboslutely my favorite picture from Friday. There was a guy playing a panflute and the girls were just speechless!

Oh no. It didn't stop there. After Riverwalk, we trekked over to the Tower of The Americas. It was 876 feet high or something. Gag. But the fountains were gorgeous!

This is me on the observation deck as I realized it was open air. Yack. I used to be SO good with heights, too.

And then...they both fell asleep. Andrew and I walked throughout San Antonio, grinning like newlyweds, pretending we were childless. That lasted about 40 minutes, when Molly's little chicken legs shot straight out in front of her and she sat up like shot, eyebrows raised, wondering where she'd gone wrong.

The highlight of Lucy's "tip" was the elevator.

We checked out of our hotel on Saturday morning and headed northeast to the Natural Bridge Caverns.

Really, two redheads? How on earth did that happen?

The caverns were great, but the holes in the benches? Second to none.

All in all, it was a fantastic weekend with two very cute little road warriors!
