San Antonio

I had a conference to attend in San Antonio, TX last week and it was Nate's week off work so he and Carter came with me and we turned a work trip into a little family vacation.  We had never been to Texas so we were looking forward to it.  We left Utah in 50 degrees and arrived in Texas to 90 degrees and 40% humidity.

On the plane on the way there....it was about 10 minutes late which was 10 minutes too long for Carter.  He cried for about 15 minutes (I am sure annoying everyone on the plane) but then fell asleep.  He did pretty well over all.

Checking in to the hotel...he was exhausted.

Dad bought Carter a sombrero on their way to lunch..pretty cute.

River walk tour...it was hot and muggy but it was still neat to see all the old buildings and hear some history

We were able to go to Austin and see a few things, one was Texas stadium and campus, it was pretty impressive

We went to Cabela's on the way back to San Antonio, Carter was in a good mood chililn in his stroller.  The Cabela's was almost exactly like Lehi's...they even sold roller mill mixes. 

Out to eat Texas BBQ...

Carter enjoying some of dad's peach cobbler and ice cream

Hanging out in the hotel room with dad...he did a lot of this and was a trooper.  Luckily it was pretty baby proof and we had toys to keep him entertained most of the time.

Nate surprised me and booked a facial at the Aveda Institute...when I got there they didn't have my appointment down but they were still able to get me in.  I don't know if they felt bad or what but my 1 hour facial last almost 2 hours.  It was awesome! The best and cheapest facial I have ever had hands down.

The trees inside were awesome

Eating lunch the last day..we discovered that Carter likes pickles.

At the airport getting ready to head home, we bought him an Armadillo to try and keep him entertained.  It worked for about 10 minutes.  He did ok on the way home, just frustrated to sit on mom and dad's laps for 3 hours.  He dropped his binkie about 5 times, the last time Nate was so frustrated he said he wasn't even going to look for it.  The stewardess brought it to us later, said a passenger found it about 4 rows back.

It was a LONG day...we didn't land until 9 p.m.  We got on the park n jet shuttle to get the jeep and I felt a warm sensation on my leg...yep apparently his diaper was so full that he was peeing on my leg.  So I stripped him down and changed him so we could drive home.  He thought it was pretty funny and so did Dad.
