Girl's Trip to San Antonio

A couple weeks ago I got to spend 5 day's with two of my favorite people!!! A third favorite person was unable to be with us and has already been warned that she MAY NOT miss another girl's trip in the future.....right Mar? We had a terrific time and can't wait to do it again!!!!
The reason for this trip unfortunately has to do with our age and the fact that one of these gals lives out of state which means we don't get to see her very often. We said a number of years back that when we turned a certain age we would take a girls trip. It was exciting that the time finally arrived but depressing that we reached this particular age soooooo fast. But hey.....we definitely made the most of it!!!


Had to get a picture in front of the Alamo. It was smokin' hot and humid on this particular day and we were sweating like pigs.....and frankly quite miserable. I don't know how people stand the humidity!!! Thankfully we had 3 great days with hardly any humidity at the end of our trip. The two older folks in the picture are my hubby's uncle and aunt. They were kind enough to let us stay in their home and drive us around all day everyday. They were incredibly generous!!!!


Standing at the Riverwalk. We took the little boat ride and went in a few of the shops.

San Antonio Temple



Do we look like we are in highschool or what???? Uncle "J" loves cars and took tons of photo's and video of us posing and sitting in them. We definitely had a good laugh and thought I had better share at least one of the pictures. I'm a bit nervous as to what he plan's to do with the video.
I wish I had taken more pictures of our trip but the Alamo, Riverwalk and the Temple is pretty much all we did other than shopped, shopped, shopped!! I didn't really want to carry my camera around while we did that.....then I wouldn't be able to carry as many bags. :-) We went to an outlet mall that had 300 stores....so between all of us we had a trunk full of stuff. We were literally there all day. We also spent an afternoon in a quaint town called Fredrichsberg. We also took a day and got massages and pedicures and then saw a movie. We needed a day like that after all the shopping. :-) Thanks to my awesome hubby for being mom for a few days!!!

You guys all look so cute and happy! I can tell you had tons of fun. Did you get to do
a session at the temple? Or go inside? That would be so fun!

I think it was such a great idea to plan this trip when you guys reached "a certain age" and to actually pull it off! Love it!

Fun in the Leaves!
