Even though we had a wonderful time in the Caribbean a couple weeks ago, that was technically for Kristie's wedding, so we decided to take one last weekend trip together for our official pre-baby, "Baby Moon". Since long plane rides are getting uncomfortable for me in my last trimester, we roadtripped down to San Antonio for 2 nights and then spent 1 night in Fredericksburg, TX. It was such a great weekend!
In San Antonio we stayed at the Westin La Cantera resort, which we loved. It's huge and there is a ton to do. We definitely plan to be back, as it was very family friendly (but still had the mandatory adult pool!).
Friday night we ate at Acenar, a trendy restaurant overlooking San Antonio's famous Riverwalk. Saturday we just relaxed by one of the Westin's 5 gorgeous pools and read parenting books - trying to soak it all in! I also finished this awesome book (The Hunger Games) for my book club - couldn't put the thing down!
Saturday night we went out for a belated anniversary dinner/early Father's Day celebration and splurged on a romantic 8-course tasting menu at the Lodge at Castle Hills. It was very picturesque.
Sunday we spent the day at Sea World, where we saw 3 great shows (sealions, killer whales and beluga whales) and Dana rode some roller coasters.
Sunday evening we drove to small Texas town called Fredericksburg that is popular for weekend getaways and full of B&Bs and quaint shops. We checked into the cutest log cabin at Baron's Creekside. The place was so adorable! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place in Fredericksburg.
We played some board games, relaxed with some wine and cheese at Lincoln Street (a MUST visit if you go to Fredericksburg) and then had a yummy dinner at the Navajo Grill with Sara and James, who drove in from Austin to meet us.
Monday we had a great breakfast the Sunset Grill and then explored the cute boutiques on Main Street. We ate grass-fed TX bison burgers at the Rather Sweet Bakery and Cafe for lunch and then headed back to Dallas. It was a really memorable weekend! So glad we got away before Baby Allen arrives in about 65 days.
