We visited San Antonio and Austin over Christmas break. We flew into Austin and drove to San Antonio first. On the way, we found a Diners, Drive Ins and Dives featured restaurant, so we stopped for burgers and BBQ. It's called Bun & Bsrrel and it was fabulous.....so good, that we stopped on our way out of town a couple of days later!
The hotel that we stayed at, did not have an attendant at the workout room, so we got lots of time on the treadmill, eliptical, bike and weights.
We visited the San Antonio River Walk one evening and then headed to Sea World the next day. It was a bit chilly.
We toured the Alamo:
Then, we made our way to Austin, where we stayed at a swanky resort and ate pizza in bed.
And chips.....
We had BBQ at the Salt Lick.
And then we went to Dave & Heather's for a New Year's Eve party.
Emoji masks are fun.
Happy New Year!
We visited the Swansons for a casual day of football games on New Year's Day. Then they were kind enough to give us a tour of downtown Austin.
And we had some sushi while we were downtown.
And as we headed out of town, we took one last family selfie at the airport.
A good time was had by all!
We also celebrated Mimi's 69th birthday. The kids hung balloons in the entry way and made signs for her to find in the cabinets and fridge.
Of course, there were lots of sporting events happening in March.
Volleyball for Megan.
Here's the team photo:
On a nice day, Darin practiced volleyball in the front yard with Megan, Jake and Francesca.
Jake played basketball in the Niles league.
And floor hockey in the school's intramural league.
Our Girl Scout troop took a cooking class at Whole Foods. They made veggie quiches.
Jake had Michael and Jack over to do the Diet Coke/Mentos experiment. It worked great!
And, finally, Jake and I ended the month at school's Mother/Son Fun Day. There were games (scooter races, tugf-o-war, etc) and video game trucks. It was a fun time.
