In February we took a short trip to San Antonio for the birth of our new nephew, Gabriel. It's always great to visit with family, but we also took a quick driving trip through the Texas hill country and of course ate a lot of tacos. Here are a few pictures from our brief stay in the Alamo City:
First tacos of the trip, straight from the airport - Torchy's tacos! |
Doing "itsy bitsy spider" with Alex. He seems uninterested... |
Dang Paul and his easily pronounceable name!
Alex learning his shapes and letters. |
Baby shower gifts for the couple! |
Cake time! |
Prost! A lot of German immigrants came to the area near San Antonio and Austin in the 1800s. |
Downtown Fredericksburg. |
More tacos... breakfast tacos this time! |
"Interesting" decorations at a restaurant in Fredericksburg. |
Driving through hill country. |
Driving over a river on the back roads. |
Nice scenery in hill country, even though the trees hadn't filled in yet. |
Time to try out "puffy" tacos, a San Antonio specialty. |
Kids never get how these work... |
Puffy tacos are good, but super greasy. |
There were literally thousands of grackles flocking around. |
Dena with baby Gabe! |
David and Gabe. |
Adorable! |
Brothers meeting for the first time. |
Paul found a powered coaster! Not a credit. |
See ya later, San Antonio! |
