Back in November we took another trip to San Antonio to visit with family. We previously were in San Antonio in early 2016, but this time we visited a few new areas and also took a trip up to Austin, so we thought we'd make another blog post. Our trip included a Notre Dame football game, a visit to several historic missions, and of course plenty of tacos and BBQ! We'll let the pictures do the talking:
 |
| Teaching "Itsy Bitsy Spider" to our nephew. |
 |
| Hanging out in Brackenridge Park. Yes, there's another nephew on the way! |
 |
| We went to Alex's soccer practice. Poor little guy! |
 |
| Mission Concepcion is one of the sites we didn't make it to on our last trip. It's part of the UNESCO world heritage site. |
 |
| Inside the main chapel at Mission Concepcion. |
 |
| A weird little outdoor shrine. |
 |
| We also stopped by Mission Espada, where a dog followed us around for a bit. This happened on our last trip to San Antonio too! |
 |
| The National Park Service signs at the missions are great photo spots. |
 |
| San Antonio's bike share is really useful for getting around to different missions. |
 |
| David on the bike path. There's that friendly dog! |
 |
| Paul on one of the bridges on the bike path. |
 |
| Paul got a roller coaster credit at ZDT's in Seguin. |
 |
| Only person on the ride, right when the park opened! |
 |
| Doh! David's worst nightmare! |
 |
| We had a lot of great tacos on this trip. |
 |
| We also went to Notre Dame vs Army at the Alamodome. Big win for ND. |
 |
| Both teams joined for each other's alma mater. |
 |
| Some beers after the game. |
 |
| Alex is ready for the road trip to Austin! Or maybe he just likes to kick David.... |
 |
| We stopped by Buc-ee's on the way there. It's basically a ginormous gas station. |
 |
| Gotta have BBQ when you're in Austin! |
 |
| The inside of the dome of the Texas capitol building. |
 |
| Texas senate chamber. |
 |
| The Texas state capitol building - one of the largest in the country. |
 |
| The floor of the capitol. Six seals for six nations that controlled Texas at some point. |
 |
| Downtown Austin. It's growing quickly! |
 |
| More tacos! This time at a food truck park. |
We'll be back to Texas again soon to welcome nephew #2 into the world in February!
