It's Back to the Real World

So, I have been slacking again when it comes to my blogging. Sorry, I think this kid has taken half of my brain and organization, which if you know me and my organization means there is practically none left in my life.

However, it is waning even more now, after our week long 'baby moon' in San Antonio.

It was 7 days and 7 nights of pure bliss. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort. Daniel spoiled me silly and bought a spa package so that I could go to the spa as much as I want, and I did. On Monday I got the mom-to-be package which included a massage, a body wrap, a spa pedicure and a manicure. Tuesday, I had a facial which also included a massage. Wednesday I took the day off to be with the hubs, so we lounged by the pool for the majority of the day. Thursday I went back for another massage, and ended the week on Friday with another massage and polish change. In the end I actually had a surplus of $40 that I just couldn't use and that was after all of my services for the week, tips and two sprees in the gift shop. Needless to say that won't be happening any more for a long, long time.

The spa was in this old rustic looking barn.


Daniel was able to play golf 3 times, which he definitely has missed since moving back to the States.

We didnt' do much touristy stuff because we just wanted to relax which we did pretty darn well. Saturday night we just stayed at the resort and ate at the poolside bar and had s'mores at the firepit before retreating for an early night in. Sunday we did the pool thing and then went to the Riverwalk for dinner. We walked around a bit before going to Rita's on the River for dinner. (I had printed off coupons before we left, and then mom sent me the same site for coupons- see I get my thriftiness naturally.) We had sopapillas for dessert and I don't think I have stopped wanting them since. They are like Mexican beignets but with cinnamon instead of powdered sugar and honey to dip them in. Obvi I couldn't have the honey so my sweet husband took all the ones without cinnamon from the bottom and let me have the cinnamon-y ones. Monday, after my spa and his golf we went to San Marcos, home of the world's largest outlet mall. We both saw LOTS we wanted, but literally the only thing we left with was an outfit for Caleb/ I think that was our first dose of what parenthood spending is really like.

On the way home we ate a Chipotle just on the way back to the resort. Neither of us had ever been to one, and it was love for our Mexican diggin' palettes. It's like a much healthier Moe's. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Tuesday, we ventured back to the Riverwalk after my facial. We also toured all around San Antonio's downtown from the Alamo to the Market Square. We ate at the CountyLine BBQ restaurant as a recommendation from the Glidewells. While Daniel and I are partial to Memphis BBQ this stuff was not half bad. Huge portions and great prices too!

Intermission- I started this blog in March, it is now June 9. I don't know that I can remember everything, so let's see how this goes.

Okay, so I have sat here and I've got nothing. I am not sure what comprised our last 3 and a half days. We had two more trips to Chipotle. Blame it on the mexican child growing within me. We also went to a place called Lulu's that we had seen on the travel channel and is known for the cinnamon rolls. These things were ridciulous and we took it back to the resort to nosh on for a few days and still never finished it. It was bigger than my head.

Every night the resort had a bonfire for guests to come and make s'mores on. Yes we were like the only ones there every night that didn't have kids, but we loved it nonethess!

Cinnamon roll from Lulu's--- MASSIVE

Another night we also ate at Hard Rock on the Riverwalk. So very overrated. It was gross, but I should have known that. I'm sorry to be so terrible, but that's about all I remember. Caleb has about pushed all my brains out at this point. So I'm working with what I got, but it isn't much :).

Regardless of the fact that I can't remember the exact details, this trip was truly special. We knew it would be our last real vacay without kids with us or on our minds and we enjoyed every moment. It was a treat for sure and the memories will last a life time. I love Daniel more than anything, he is my best friend and there is noone else I'd rather embark on this journey of parenthood with than him!
