Best of 2009: Best Trip – San Antonio, Texas

Posted on | December 1, 2009 | 1 Comment

I am participating in Gwen Bell’s The Best of 2009 Blog Challenge. December 1st, Gwen asks what was your best trip in 2009?

In late January, I took an impulse trip to San Antonio, Texas with my 2 kids, Danielle and Mason. Little did I know, I was already carrying my 3rd child Jack. I am not a huge fan of San Antonio but looking back, this was my best trip because it was impulsive and with my kids. We took an 8 day trip to Colorado in June that was awesome but this was still my favorite.

I hadn’t been to SA in years and wanted to show Mason The Alamo for the first time. Danielle loves the Louis Tussaud’s Plaza Wax Museum and Ripley’s Believe It or Not! so she was totally in.

Family!


We stayed at the historic La Mansion hotel on the Riverwalk, had a nice Italian dinner at Luca Ristorante Enoteca, found a cute coffee shop and even visited the top of the Tower of the Americas at Hemisfair Park and played with candy blocks. The kids really enjoyed the River Taxi ride as well.

I just loved spending quality time with my kids! I let them choose what we were going to do on the trip and that made it much more meaningful. I’m so blessed to have them. When Jack gets a bit older, I look forward to more impulse trips with my family. :)

    My love for San Antonio has grown tremendously over the last couple of years. Mostly because of the amazing Tech Community there.

    My last trip to SA was rather impulsive too. I can’t really talk about it here – but remind me to tell you about it sometime ;)
