We're winding down with our recap of our time in San Antonio at the Alamo Bowl, and today I'm sharing day 4 and part of day 5.
Monday morning we woke up and took it easy. I managed to get a workout in, the girls played in the kids suite, and we took our time getting dressed. My parents had driven down to Austin on Sunday, stayed at our house, and then got up to meet us in San Antonio on Monday.
When they arrived we all set out for a stroll on the riverwalk.
We walked and walked, and it was so nice because it wasn't insanely crowded. It seemed that after lunch time, the riverwalk was nuts throughout the rest of the day and evening, which made me want to avoid it. While it's pretty, it's also very narrow, with basically single file lines walking down the sides, and outdoor seating for all of the restaurants. Couple that with three girls, and I was a nervous wreck that they'd fall in the river or even get lost. I was glad to have reinforcements in town.
We eventually walked up to street level, took some pictures and walked back to eat lunch.
I was craving mexican food, so we found a restaurant on the river not far from our hotel.
Then, we walked over to the Alamo, which was right across from our hotel, and DJ even managed to meet us over there! Bowl games always vary for us, because we have some bowl weeks where we see each other a lot, and others where we barely see each other because he's busy working. This bowl, we rarely spent time together :( After sneaking over for a bit he headed to the airport to pick up his sister in law and nephew.
My mom took the girls to get ice cream and my stepdad and I sat at the Alamo and people watched.
The girls came back while I was showing him some photo settings on my phone and we ended up taking this picture.
When my sister in law and nephew came in to town, we walked the riverwalk and tried to catch a boat, but the line was insanely long and the girls were tired. So, my parents took them back to the hotel and we did some exploring and had a quick dinner out. I called it a night early (to relieve my parents) and DJ hung out with family.
This gorgeous tree was in one of the historic hotels downtown.
And I came back to my room Monday night with another fun surprise! The chocolates were so yummy!
Tuesday was game day!!! Nana made it in around midnight the night before, so after brunch, we all met up and finally went on a riverboat ride!
We were excited!!!
Lots of girls ready to ride the river boat!
Addy was nonchalantly, or not, holding up her "hook 'em" to all the people walking along, and especially to Utah fans. She is a die hard Texas fan.
#sorrynotsorry
There's a lock bridge downtown that we discovered on our riverboat ride, and now I want to go back and put a lock on.
and how cool is this tree growing out of a building?! They're actually doing reconstruction on this building so our river boat driver said the tree may be torn down :(
After our boat ride, DJ went to get ready for the game, and we went to Joe's Crab Shack- my nephew's crab big read "My Crabs Have Longhorns" and I about died! It was so funny!
After lunch we got ready for the game....... I'll be sharing that next week!
Spoiler alert- we won!
See y'all tomorrow for Friday Favorites!
