San Antonio

Last weekend we took a trip to San Antonio! We got there Friday night and thought we'd take a little stroll on the Riverwalk. It was really pretty. But don't go there on a Friday night if you have a baby, because you won't like it. Too stressful with the smoke and the people and the stairs with your stroller. It's much better during the day.


We also saw the Alamo! Bowman was excited about all the Davy Crockett artifacts on display there too.



For lunch we went to a cafe that some friends at home told us about before we left. Apparently the place sells enormous cinnamon rolls. And they definitely were ENORMOUS. (No time limits or contests involved :) )



We also went to El Mercado, a big Mexican market/festival. Rayna got to ride in her carrier, which she loves now that she's big enough to face outward.


On the drive home, we took the scenic route through DeWitt County, the "Wildflower Capital of Texas." Look at these flowers! We thought they were so beautiful.













And, here is a little bonus post that has nothing to do with San Antonio. Rayna had been drooling like a faucet last week. You can see the huge wet spot on her shirt. So we were wondering what in the world sparked all the drool, because babies don't really get teeth at two and a half months. But, it seems like Rayna does. Hold off Rayna, hold off! I'm not ready for it, so I'm hoping it just stays how it is, a little poke, for awhile.

Hugo drooled for about 3 months before his first teeth finally popped through the gums. He still has teeth coming through but doesn't drool as much as at the beginning.

Rayna's so cute hanging out with all the flowers. I just took a closer look at the picture where she's holding a bouquet - is that a spider on your hand?! Eeek!!

That is not a spider. It only has six "legs"--and that's even counting the tiny wispy things. It's just part of flower. Sheesh, Maria's inciting panic.

Rayna's darling.
