So, Jon had to go to San Antonio for an English teacher conference and my mother-in-law offered to drive down and be with the kids for three days if I wanted to go with him. I don't think I really had to think about it too long. At the airport we realized we hadn't flown together by ourselves since our honeymoon, it was pretty fun to not have kids to hassle with. We got there, ate lunch/dinner since it was about 3:30 and then walked around the city and relaxed in the motel room. The next day, Jon went to his conference and I scrapbooked, watched Season 1 of Heroes, which I love now, and read my book. Quite the life. Jon and I would meet for meals. It was so enjoyable and I thank my in-laws for doing ALL my motherly duties so I could play and be lazy. The kids never called so I finally gave in and called them. They all did great. There was one "mishap" on Saturday that involved throwing rocks at each other which I couldn't believe (I could believe it but wished it didn't happen), but other than that, great.
Jon and I walked to The Alamo which was about 10 minutes away. It was smaller than I thought and in the middle of a busy city which I didn't picture, but it was cool. We also spent most of the time walking the "River Walk" which was beautiful. The city has all these shops and restaurants
right on the river. They had boat tours on the river too that we decided to do on the last day since we had some time before the shuttle came to get us for the airport. It was a great trip and fun to be with Jon.

I'm so happy for you Kyla AND a little bit jealous! ;) I'd love to escape from everyday life with my hubby...SOMEDAY! =) I love that your kids were throwing rocks! Hehe, I get to laugh at your expense. (this time anyway!) I'd love to see the Alamo. What a cool peace of history. Glad you had a great time!
Love ya,
Amy
P.S. I wrote "peace" of history and really meant "piece" BUT this isn't like MySpace and I can't go back and edit my comment! Ooops! =) Gotta love being a busy Mom- always in a hurry! ;)
Looks like fun! I've always wanted to see the Alamo. I'm jealous. :) Was it cold there (just wondered since you have your hood on)? Very cute pics!
I'm sooo glad that you guys got to go. It is fun to get away together...You will probably want to go more often now that you have tasted the sweetness. You guys are so cute!!
I'm so glad you got to get away. It is so hard to do when you have kids. Bless Jon's mom. Looks like a fun trip too.
