There’s no place like home!

Devin and I had a chance to get away together and go to San Antonio, TX. On Friday my parents came to eat dinner with us then the kids left with them to go to their house for 5 nights. The kids were so excited! Devin and I (ok…well I) packed our bags so we would be ready to go. We left early the next morning to catch an early flight (thanks Cortney and Jennifer for the ride to the airport!) We had a great flight and watched the Royal wedding while flying! We landed in SA around 11. Dropped our stuff off at our super nice hotel on the river then went out to explore. We toured the Alamo, got chips, salsa, guacamole, and queso at a little place on the river for an afternoon snack, walked all through their mall(y’all! It is so big and there are tons of stores. We got chair massages 2 days in a row! Ha!), headed back to the hotel to freshen up before dinner at a REALLY good BBQ place on the river. We got seats on the water and got to watch the early Memorial Day patriotic boat parade! This same day the kids went to NC with my parents and Pa to tour Billy Graham’s homestead and library. They enjoyed a late lunch before heading back home. They cooked a yummy dinner of chicken alfredo and AC baked a lemon cake. Sunday we hopped on the bus and headed to the SA zoo. It was neat to see different animals than we have here.After the zoo we got a late lunch. That evening we met a friend for dinner at a yummy Italian place then we went for a walk and stopped at Starbucks for D to do some work.The kids also had fun on Sunday. They went to church with Granny and Papa, ate lunch at Moes, went to the SC state museum, then spent the rest of the day at their house. 🙂 Monday morning Devin had to work so I got back on the bus and went to the botanical gardens, did some shopping, relaxed and read, and when Devin got done we headed out for hors d’oeuvres with some colleagues. After that we walked along the river and ate at a yummy Mexican restaurant with a one of Devin’s colleagues.  The ducks really wanted our food! After that we got some ice cream. Yum!That Monday the kids got off to school, AC had gymnastics after school, Granny and Charlie went to the bookstore to get the next book in a series since he finished the first one. I’m so jealous of all the yummy food granny and papa cooked them!Tuesday morning D headed back to work and I took a walk along the river again and then headed to the San Antonio Missions(there are 4 of them). I toured the San Jose mission. It was so neat! That evening we headed to the airport for our flight. It was a later flight and we landed in Atlanta around 9:45pm. We were supposed to have a short layover and land in Columbia at 12:38am. Let’s just say it was after 2am when we landed so we were super tired. The kids had another great day at school and at Charlie’s football game.While we had a wonderful time away and the kids loved their time with Granny and Papa, there’s no place like home!
