Our Trip to Texas!

A few weeks ago we went to Texas for our anniversary/vacation and we had a blast! The first part of the trip we stayed in San Antonio.

 

This was the view from our hotel room. It's the Tower of the Americas.  It stands 750 ft tall. On our anniversary we had dinner there at the Chart House Restaurant!

Our hotel was so close to everything. This is the Alamo above and it was just a short walk away. We both thought the Alamo was a lot bigger, but it was still cool to see. 

 Here's some pics from the Riverwalk. There are all sorts of restaurants and dessert places. It was a fun environment. 

 The city was so pretty when it was lit up at night. I have no clue what the building on the left is but it looked awesome with the red, white, and blue at night.

  Our hotel had a free breakfast and this is what the pancakes looked like.

 

Like I mentioned earlier we went to eat at the Chart House Restaurant for our anniversary. We made our reservations right before the sunset so we could see the city. The restaurant spins while you're eating so you can get a different view of the city. It was awesome! We made it all the way around before we left.

Here are some pics of the city. We had an awesome view of the sunset as we were eating!

 Out of nowhere we noticed these lights. Go Spurs!

 Philip took me on a carriage ride after dinner! It was the best. Plus we got valet service to our hotel.

After our trip to San Antonio we went back to Houston to spend some time with Philip's brother and his family. Which means we got to spend lots of time with this cute little guy below. Brayden was lots of fun and supplied tons of entertainment while we were there.

 We went to a Houston Astros game. Our seats were awesome! Plus we made it on the big screen the first 5 minutes we were there.

 Next up we went to the Houston Zoo. I love going to zoos in other states just to see the difference. Then I always leave feeling bummed out because our zoo is so much lamer than everywhere else. We had lots of fun seeing all the animals. Especially the baby giraffe below. So cute!

 We spent the last few days of our trip just hanging out with our family. Philip's brother Jonathan had a rally for beach retreat at his church and we held some alligators and ate some crawdads.

We had lots of fun hanging out with Brayden!

 Thanks Jonathan and Michelle for letting us stay with you guys. We had a blast!
