Remember the Alamo

We headed to San Antonio on December 23rd for our 3rd trip to the Alamo Bowl. DJ had to go down a day early (the team went on the 24th) to set up meeting rooms, and the girls and I figured we would go down early too. We got up, picked up the house, finished packing, and headed out around noon. 

The girls and I have a Get Out Pass and a lot of the activities we can do are in San Antonio. We used one of our passes for an hour jump at a trampoline park and headed straight there after we left the house. 

The girls had a blast jumping, climbing, and playing.

The Get Out Pass is avaialable in several states and we have loved using it over the last year! You can use the code itselainewelte to save on passes for your family! 

It was so cold our first day. I wore my favorite leggings, my new boots, and a cozy pullover. 

We left the trampoline park and headed for the hotel. First stop after unloading our suitcases- a photo op with mega megaphones. 

The Riverwalk mall was beside our hotel, so we walked around for a bit and the girls opted to spend a dollar to ride the bus. 

We stopped for cookies and ice cream after the girls bus ride. 

We use to eat at Cold Stone Creamery all of the time when we lived in Oklahoma, and these girls barely remembered it! 

DJ was still setting up meeting rooms; we were finished walking around the hotel, so the girls had some fun at little Christmas photo areas set up in the hotel. 

And then they played on the escalators. 

They were having the best time. 

Eventually DJ got finished and we were able to go grab some dinner before calling it a day. 

On Christmas Eve day, we visited two of the missions in San Antonio. I figured the girls have seen the Alamo before so we wanted to visit some of the other historic places in San Antonio. 

The two missions we visted are still used as churches today. 

After our stops at the missions, we headed to Mi Tierra for lunch. 

Their chicken verde enchiladas were delicous! 

We walked through the market, and were so thankful for the sunshine even though it was still chilly. 

We made it back to the hotel to see the team arrive. 

We had snacks and cookies in our hotel room that afternoon. 

Then we made it the our first bowl event. DJ and I were gifted Oakley sunglasses from the bowl. The girls received Alamo Bowl sunglasses, and we braved the chilly night to take the most picturesque photo in front of the Alamo all lit up at night. 

So pretty! 

Our first few days in San Antoonio were busy, but we were just getting started!
